Nobody knows how many people lived in North America in 1492.

If we're talking about just the US and Canada, estimates range from around a million to ten million.

If we're including Mexico, that's been variously reckoned at 5-25 million.

A compromise estimate might be 2-5m in the US & Canada, 10m or so in Mexico. But there were no counts until much later when population had been greatly reduced by disease, so we don't know. All estimates need to be approached with caution.
