Probably a lot of them, but the first one that comes to my mind is the Susquehannock of the Pennsylvania region.

Part of the story involves General Amherst and Colonel Bouquet deciding to distribute to local American Indians blankets from Fort Pitt (which had a smallpox outbreak while it was under seige). I don't recall immediately if that was the cause of the Susquehannock case, but there is significant documentation on this actually happening. The original letters between Amherst and Bouquet still exist. You can find more about what happened around the web.
