Excerpt from The Indian Question
The long established belief, that the Indian population of the United States is rapidly disappearing, and that the time is not far distant when it will become so insignificant in size, that it will cease to give annoyance to the Govern ment, has scarcely received contradiction until within the past ten years. Among a large portion of our citizens an opinion still widely prevails, that the Indian tribes which formerly roamed over the country east of the Mississippi River, have almost ceased to exist. We'are occasionally informed of the sad fate of the nations of the former North West Territory, or possibly, of the advance in civilization which those small remnants of the Iroquois, and Cherokee nations which still remain with us have reached. The State of Delaware is about to place in his final resting place its only red native, while the summer visitors at Nantucket are shown the grave of the last representative of the original proprietors of the soil of that island.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
