Remembering Shawnadithit
This is a version of an announcement that appeared in the Royal Gazette in St. John’s Newfoundland on June 16, 1829.
Shawnadithit, the female Indian, one of the Aborigines of this island, died at the
hospital on June 6th. She died of consumption, a disease which seems to have been
remarkably prevalent among her tribe, and which has unfortunately been fatal to
all who have fallen into the hands of the settlers.
