Ward Churchill estimates that the North American Indian population went from 12 million in 1500 to barely 237,000 in 1900: "a vast genocide.. the most sustained on record."
It was nothing short of organized, expansionist, settler-colonial conquest. I also highly suggest reading an Indegenous people's history of the US. You can find the audiobook on torrents.

That person said ONE HUNDRED MILLION. Not that those numbers are paltry you gave, and I know that’s exactly what I am trying to say. To go from 100M then from 12M to 237k is quite the difference if I do say so myself and I am not denying the settler expansionist involvement in that.
