Let's take a fair middle ground on these numbers and say 5million.
estimates show well over 90% of them were wiped out with disease, let's choose a low estimate, say 92%.
8% of 5m leaves 400,000. and let's assume that 230,00 remaining Indians in 1910
= 170,000 killed by Europeans and their descendants, of which the US Army killed ~20,000.
