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.

Hohokam
O'odham aren't Irish. I used to call them Pima/Papago.
One of them once convinced me that there were good AA meetings on the res and that they once grew the best dry country beans in the world.
A Reservation of theirs is on the US/Mex boarder.
They may need help in dealing with the illegal drug market and the great demand for those drugs on this side of the boarder.
However, they have been fearful, with good reason, of "help" from the US government.
