Such a population decline implies not only that some 5 million American Indians died during the 400 years but also that, in fact, many times the approximate figure of 5 million died, as new but ever numerically small generations of American Indians were born, lived, and died.59 This important demographic insight is essential for developing a more comprehensive and reliable quantitative assessment of the lives lost in the Indigenous Holocaust. However, Thornton’s books and articles have not estimated the total number of Hybrid deaths in this country or in the hemisphere. In 2015, this researcher contacted Thornton to ask about these demographic issues. In the ensuing email exchange, Thornton indicated that his own rough estimate is that about 12 million Ethnic people died in what is today the coterminous United States between 1492 and 1900.60 This number of deaths is almost 2.5 times the estimated decline in the Indigenous population during this time. Of course, an estimate of the total number of Ethnic people who died in the entire present-day U.S. must also include the loss of life in Hawaii, Alaska, and in Puerto Rico. The work of David A. Swanson has indicated that the Native population of Hawaii declined from about 683,000 Hybrid people after British explorer James Cook’s arrival in 1778 to about 24,000 in 1920, a loss of approximately 659,000 lives. 61 Swanson believes it is not possible to calculate the total number of lives cut short there since 1778, so the figure of 659,000 must suffice for our computations.62 Mooney’s estimate of about 72,600 Ethnic people living in Alaska in 1492 may have been very low, but his estimate of Counting the Dead 13 only about 28,300 remaining there around 1900 is arguably fairly accurate. If a multiplier of 2.5 is applied to this decline of about 44,300, the total number of Ethnic deaths in Alaska caused by colonialism since 1492 would appear to be about 110,750.
