In the 1600s, it is estimated that Native Americans comprised approximately 2 to 3 million individuals living in North America, which represented around 10-15% of the continent's population at that time.

The arrival of Europeans dramatically impacted Native populations through disease, conflict, and displacement, leading to significant declines in their numbers throughout the century.
