Answer 1

The correct conclusion that can be drawn from the data is: Disease and Warfare with Europeans/Non-Natives took a heavy toll on the native population. This can be inferred from the fact that the estimated population in 1690 for all the tribes was relatively high, but by the 1890 census, the population for all the tribes was reduced to zero or very low numbers.
