Counting the Dead: Estimating the Loss of Life in
the Indigenous Holocaust, 1492-Present
David Michael Smith
University of Houston-Downtown
During the past century, researchers have learned a great deal about the nature and
scope of what Russell Thornton has called the demographic collapse of the Indigenous
population in the Western Hemisphere after 1492.1 As David Stannard has explained, the
almost inconceivable number of deaths caused by the invasion and conquest of these lands
by Europeans and their descendants constitute “the worst human holocaust the world had
ever witnessed.”2 Scholars have long had reliable information on the size of the Indigenous
population in this hemisphere and this country at its nadir around the turn of the twentieth
century. And in recent decades, investigators have developed a range of estimates of the
Native population in the Western Hemisphere before 1492. Researchers have also amassed
considerable knowledge about the role of diseases, wars, genocidal violence, enslavement,
forced relocations, the destruction of food sources, the devastation of ways of life,
declining birth rates, and other factors in the Indigenous Holocaust.3 This paper draws on
the work of Russell Thornton, David Stannard, and other scholars in attempting to count
the dead—that is, in developing informed and reasonable, if very rough, estimates of the
total loss of Indigenous lives caused by colonialism in the Western Hemisphere and in what
is today the United States of America. Although this analysis is inevitably grim and
saddening, there is much to be gained by understanding the most sustained loss of life in
human history—both for people living today and for future generations.
In addition to the deadly impact of diseases, wars, and genocide, Thornton has
emphasized that many Indigenous nations in what is today the United States were
“removed, relocated, dispersed, concentrated, or forced to migrate at least once after
contact with Europeans or Americans.”47 And he has observed that the forced removal of
over 100,000 Indigenous people to areas west of the Mississippi River during the first half
of the nineteenth century directly resulted in significant loss of life.48 Moreover, such
removals and relocations destroyed Indigenous people’s ways of life, which resulted in
substantial additional loss of life.49 Other devastating assaults on these ways of life
included
the Spanish missions in California, Florida, and Texas; the U.S.
government’s attempts to make Plains Indians into cattle ranchers and
southern Indians into American farmers…efforts by churches and
governments to undermine Indian religious, governmental, and kinship
systems… the often-deliberate destructions of flora and fauna that
American Indians used for food and other purposes…the near extinction of
the buffalo…50
Widespread starvation and malnutrition, the deleterious effects of forced labor, alcoholism,
demoralization and despair, declining fertility, and other factors also contributed to the
Indigenous Holocaust.51
As remarked earlier, the demographic collapse of the Indigenous population in the
Western Hemisphere and in the United States ended at the beginning of the twentieth
century, but the cumulative human costs of invasion, conquest, and colonialism by
Europeans and their descendants have continued to grow. Governments in Mexico,
Guatemala, Brazil, Peru, and other Latin American countries have continued to murder
Indigenous activists and other Indigenous people.52 In comparison, the level of violence
has been lower in the U.S., but the federal government and vigilantes have killed Native
people intermittently since 1900. 53
Indigenous people living in the U.S. have also died in
wars abroad and continue to be murdered by police at a higher rate than any other
demographic group.54 Moreover, highly disproportionate levels of extreme poverty,
unemployment, poor housing, preventable diseases, poor health care, drug abuse, and
suicide have continued to plague Indigenous populations throughout the Western
Hemisphere, including in the United States.55 Not surprisingly, research in the past three
decades has confirmed significant numbers of excess deaths in the U.S. Indigenous
population.56
Donald still going all-in to be nominee of the Grand Old Party?
Since Trump Prone to Cheating & so didn't Bush in FLA Chad Election… Should Not these Candidates be Afraid & Aware That MAGA will CHEAT Here in Iowa ?
What I wanna know from trumpeteers is WHY. i don't wanna hear his bs regurgitated. I don't wanna hear his propaganda or "alternative facts." Give me one, good, factual reason WHY.
Just one.
..I'll wait.
Yay! Trump WON in a Landslide….Vivek fully Endorses Trump and haters keep hating😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those rivers over flow their banks and razor wire is a no,no
He’s praying that he makes it in the White House because Donald Trump knows he is going straight to jail. He’s got more criminal activity that a mob boss and he knows this is his only way out. Yes he’s pleading to the American people because he’s over his head and criminal activity.
You’re voting for a president who threatens our government for doing their job when it comes to criminals like Donald Trump, he threatens their lies and their families with hate speeches
You are voting for a man who puts out heat speeches, belittling people on national TV, slamming them making fun of them calling them names like a little 5 year-old child
You are voting for a man who claims to be a billionaire, but yet he cheated on his taxes, all of his wife, and pay less in taxes than a regular workingman, working five days a week how disgusting
You are voting for a man that was an office last time and changed Roe versus Wade and took away women’s right to choose when it comes to abortion.
You’re voting for a man when he was president. Last time is the biggest tax break in American history to all the billionaires just like him.
You are going to be voting for a man tonight named Donald Trump, who quotes speeches From the Adolf Hitler’s books in the 1930s, the speeches that Adolf Hitler used on the German people to win them over how disgusting
You are going to be voting for a man who spent many years going back-and-forth to that island with Jeff Epstein and they were molesting little children little girls how disgusting
It’s not the Republican party anymore. It’s the Trump Party with his mega Republicans following him like puppets on a string the same way, Adolf Hitler had the German people following him and taking over Germany. It’s sad to see this in America.
Its hilarious to me how all of these media people seem so excited when they should be depressed that a law breaking criminal is still elgible and be relevant. This country should be a shamed about how its ran. USA is a joke.
I don't get the media and Trump. He only got 49% in Iowa, which is a total disaster. This is a very right wing evangelical state.
If you listen to the news, it's as if he got 90% of the vote. It's a landslide!!!
He is a former president! He won Iowa in 2020! With his biggest critic, Chris Christie, dropping out he should be at least in high sixties. Again he's a former president You ask me this is a total disaster.
Trump 2024✊👍
Abbott will always push off his responsibilities of things to others. I am so tired of living in such a crappy state. I am tired of Abbott and his cronies lying, deflecting, outright cheating. I am fed up with it. Their butts best be in this state with this cold weather and not flying off to Mexico again like the last time when we lost power and people died.
Trump coming to a White House near you. Trump 2024
Nikki Haley is horrible, untrustworthy, opportunist, warmonger. Glad she came in third. Liberal Dems are really pushing her.
That was a big sacrifice of people but God showed them a great Sign
Lowell, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire, Middlesex County area support, Donald Trump 👏👏👏👏 hey Biden, this one’s for you👉🖕
Hallie Jackson NOW – January 15
