The Beothuk, an Indigenous people of Newfoundland, faced severe decline due to European colonization, which led to loss of territory, resources, and exposure to diseases. The primary blame lies with European settlers and their governments, whose policies and actions disrupted Beothuk traditional ways of life and led to violent confrontations. Additionally, the encroachment of settlers on Beothuk hunting grounds diminished their ability to sustain their population. Ultimately, the combination of these factors resulted in the near extinction of the Beothuk by the early 19th century.
