These details will be explained under the topic "how did Native Americans influence America?". They consist of facts about the development of Native American and white culture and what their relationship was like. First, they rely on statistical resources about how the Native American population formed. Their statistics have been shown to decline dramatically over time after whites settled in America. Shown in a graph as an example, during the 1700s, Native Americans reduced from over 10,000 to approximately 8,000. As time went on, as in 1780, the number dropped to around 2,000 Native Americans. European and similar nations are known to have expanded their species into the United States, forcing Native Americans to give up their land and move west. An example of this would be the tribes that lived in Louisiana when the whites took their territories away from them.
