After 100 years of exposure to European settlers, it is estimated that Native American populations declined by about 90% due to factors such as disease, warfare, displacement, and assimilation policies. This significant decline left only a fraction of the original populations intact. By the late 19th century, many tribes had been reduced to small remnant groups, with some tribes facing near extinction. The exact portion remaining varied by region and tribe, but the overall impact was devastating.
