Lots Are "Gone"

But not all.
I'm writing of 'American Indians.'
Please feel free to correct my figures or to add to them:
Peru:      14   million
Mexico:    12   million
Bolivia:    6   million
Guatemala:  5   million
Ecuador:    3   million
U.S.:       2.5 million
Colombia:   1   million
Canada:     1   million

As you might guess, these are meant to be contemporary population figures.

In my youth I think that there were still over 50 Indian languages spoken in the Us. I wonder how many there are now.
