Where did all the Native Americans go in United States and Canada?

Question

There are only pockets of them left remaining on indian reservations, a portion mixed with the Europeans, but where did the rest go? If you look at Mexico or South America, there are huge number still there, so my question is does anybody know if the ones in North America were all killed or did they move to Mexico or what happened to them?

What about Australia?

Answer 1

There still alot of Amerindians left in the general population. Many died as a result oppressive or at least indifferent treatment during the expansionist period in American history. There two other reasons for the apparently different experience in Latin America.

In North America, there was a huge migration of various Europeans. They wanted land and were generally disinterested in attempting to enslave these people. Where as, in Latin America there were relatively few Spanish emigrants putting pressure on the native populations for space. They were however desirous of enslaving these populations and exploiting their labour for the gain of the few.

Another difference was the nature of the different cultures of Native peoples in both places. In North America, Northern Europeans encountered relatively small groups of either hunter gatherers/ horticulturists, or pure hunter gather nomads, with loosely organized political systems. In Latin America the Conquistadors encountered Large population centers, ruled by fully developed warrior elites, supported by outlying highly evolved agriculturist colonies or outright client states, subservient to these imperial cities.

What is the same; is that the introduction of common European diseases, initially produced such a shock that the native populations social organizations were in no condition to resist. Also There were climate changes in progress which were causing social disruption and food shortages before the general advent of the full scale arrival of the Europeans.

This is very simplified. The period of these two conquests and the amount of time they took is very different, the people who undertook them are very different. One great mistake is to regard these people as a single entity. They are not. They are fully as different as any European Nation is one from another.



I do know that dispute poverty, neglect, and disease there are probably as many Navajo as there ever were. This is also likely to be true of the Pueblo people as well.

On the East Coast, most were killed off, In the West, there are still some large Reservations, and some tribes, but very few, like the Hupa, and Yurok of Northern California, still have a portion of their original lands.

Answer 3

No they moved to Canada to Ottawa and Ontario and because of the British method of fair play did very well for themselves we did not make treaty's with them and break them whenever it was convenient , the treaty's that we signed have always been honoured to the present day and the Indian tribes are now one of the richest people in Canada, the bulk of them were the Cree people ,There were a few Sioux fleeing from American revenge for little bighorn. the Metius and Inuit were indigenous Indians of Canada

They are still here and not just on reservations. Many Canadian cities particularly those in the west have large native populations and if you include Metis (of mixed descent) the number is quite high.

Answer 6

We forced them west. then we got their land from them, if they didnt comply we killed them off. Some of them relocated but the only ones left are the ones on reservations

Answer 7

Tens of 1000's of years in the past, people left or migrated out of Africa. some moved to the middle East, then to Asia, then to North usa...then moved to South usa All people' ancestry originated from Africa. community people have greater genetic similarities with some Asians than different people. yet time beyond regulation they are starting to be different, so as that they don't seem to be Asians. "what and are the Spanish people in south usa additionally community people? because of the fact they seem very equivalent to it." Spanish people are people from Spain they seem different from community people. you need to examine a background e book. in any case, a gaggle of Spanish people and different Europeans moved (some 1000's of years in the past) to South usa, killed many natives and took over. lots of the people in recent times from South usa are a mix of Europeans and Natives, and African (extra over because of the fact of slavery). yet many are nonetheless predominately Indigenous.
