Indians into American farmers…efforts by churches and governments to undermine Indian religious, governmental, and kinship systems… the often-deliberate destructions of flora and fauna that American Indians used for food and other purposes…the near extinction of the buffalo…Widespread starvation and malnutrition, the deleterious effects of forced labor, alcoholism, demoralization and despair, declining fertility, and other factors also contributed to the Indigenous Holocaust.

Researchers have also developed various estimates for the pre-1492 population of the lands that today make up the coterminous United States. In 1910, James Mooney estimated this population at about 846,000. He later revised his estimate to more than 879,000.19 In 1939, Kroeber suggested that this population was only about 720,000 before the Europeans arrived.20 In 1976, Douglas Ubelaker estimated that the original population of the coterminous United States was more than 1.85 million.21 In 1981, Thornton and his co-author Joan Marsh-Thornton developed an estimate of 1.845 million, which was very close to Ubelaker’s.22 As Thornton later explained, this estimate was based on the assumption that the pattern of depopulation between 1492 in 1800 had been linear, i.e. “in a straight line.” But further research convinced him that the demographic collapse of the Indigenous population in the present-day coterminous U.S. was “a more severe downward curve.” Thornton revised his earlier finding and concluded that this population numbered more than 5 million in 1492.23 And he estimated that another 2 million Native people lived in what is today Canada, Alaska, and Greenland at that time. In 1992, Stannard estimated that between 8 and 12 million Indigenous people.
