An analysis of the long-term impacts of the Columbian Exchange on Indigenous North American populations would show that Indigenous cultures faced the threat of extinction.

The Columbian Exchange introduced diseases to which Indigenous populations had no immunity, leading to significant population decline and disruption of their cultures and societies. While there were other impacts, including the introduction of new goods and trade forms, the devastating effect of disease and colonization primarily threatened the existence of Indigenous cultures.
