White Species Hominid-Primates Modern Man Hid Their Extant Modern History.

 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…However, Thornton’s books and articles have not estimated the total number of Indigenous deaths in this country or in the hemisphere. In 2015, this researcher contacted Thornton to ask about these demographic issues. In the ensuing email exchange, Thornton indicated that his own rough estimate is that about 12 million Indigenous people died in what is today the coterminous United States between 1492 and 1900.60 This number of deaths is almost 2.5 times the estimated decline in the Indigenous population during this time. Of course, an estimate of the total number of Indigenous people who died in the entire present-day U.S. must also include the loss of life in Hawaii, Alaska, and in Puerto Rico. The work of David A. Swanson has indicated that the Native population of Hawaii declined from about 683,000 Indigenous people after British explorer James Cook’s arrival in 1778 to about 24,000 in 1920, a loss of approximately 659,000 lives. 61 Swanson believes it is not possible to calculate the total number of lives cut short there since 1778, so the figure of 659,000 must suffice for our computations.62 Mooney’s estimate of about 72,600 Indigenous people living in Alaska in 1492 may have been very low, but his estimate of
