Measles is one of those diseases (like mumps, chicken pox and the flu) that healthy, well-nourished people rarely get very sick from, but if you're very old, very young or have vitamin deficiencies (like many natives did) you get a LOT sicker than you'd expect. The fatality rate for a European with measles was around 0.9%. For Indians it was closer to 20 or 30%.
Part of this was natural immunity; if your relatives in the past have all had a disease for generations, you have a natural resistance to it. You don't get as sick. Many Africans and Central/South American Natives had a resistance to malaria or yellow fever, for example, but it killed white Europeans like flies.
