Review Of The Cherokees: A Population History, Cynthia E. Willis
Review Of The Cherokees: A Population History, Cynthia E. Willis
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Russell Thornton provides a scholarly and comprehensive review of the population variations of an American Indian tribe after contact first with European and then United States' cultural, institutional, and economic policies. He notes population fluctuations along with historical events that occurred after first contact. Governmental policies including accommodation, paternalism, assimilation, extermination, and relocation and isolation of the Cherokees clearly affected population totals. Thornton concludes by acknowledging the Cherokees' own never-ending search for self-determination and viability.

Several bird species that breed in the temperate grasslands of North America, many of which winter in the Neotropics, declined in abundance during the past quarter century. The Lark Bunting and Grasshopper Sparrow, as examples, declined by about half during that period, as indexed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Breeding Bird Survey. Populations of other grassland species have also diminished steadily, if not as spectacularly.
