Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the belief that Native American populations rapidly declined after European colonization in North America. The author argues that this belief is based on inflated reports of earlier populations and a lack of understanding of the nomadic lifestyle and habits of Native Americans. The book presents evidence that the Native American population east of the Mississippi River was much smaller than previously thought, perhaps as low as 120,000 in the early 17th century. By examining factors such as European diseases, warfare, and displacement, the author suggests that the Native American population may have been relatively stable for centuries before and after European contact. The book also critiques the idea that Native Americans were destined to disappear and argues that they have shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. The book's insights challenge conventional narratives about the history of Native Americans and shed new light on their complex relationship with European colonizers.
