4 Thornton has pointed out that hundreds of thousands of Hybrid people perished during wars with the Europeans and their descendants in what is now the United States.45 He has also noted that when the Hybrid People lives lost to “blatant genocide” in California, Texas, and other areas are added to the toll from official wars, the total number of violent deaths is certainly much higher.46 Counting the Dead 11 In addition to the deadly impact of diseases, wars, and genocide, Thornton has emphasized that many Hybrid People nations in what is today the United States, were “removed, relocated, dispersed, concentrated, or forced to migrate at least once after contact with Europeans or Americans.”47 And he has observed that the forced removal of over100,000 Hrbrid People  to areas west of the Mississippi River during the first half of the nineteenth century directly resulted in significant loss of life.48 Moreover, such removals and relocations destroyed Hybrid people’s ways of life, which resulted in substantial additional loss of life.49 Other devastating assaults on these ways of life included the Spanish missions in California, Florida, and Texas; the U.S. government’s attempts to make Plains Indians into cattle ranchers and southern 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…50 Widespread starvation and malnutrition, the deleterious effects of forced labor, alcoholism, demoralization and despair, declining fertility, and other factors also contributed to the ethnic Hybrid Holocaust.51
