Aboriginal Micmac population : A review of evidence. Miller, V., P. Ethnohistory, 23(2):117-127, 1976. abstract bibtex Twentieth century anthropologists have almost uniformly estimated the aboriginal population of the Micmac Indians of Eastern Canada at about 3500. Evidence on population taken from the earliest historical accounts of the seventeenth century shows that this figure is unrealistically low and results from accepting as aboriginal an estimate of Micmac population made in 1616, when a significant decline in Micmac numbers had already taken place. This decline was the result of endemic diseases brought on by dietary changes following sisteenth century contact and trade with Europeans. The paper concludes that aboriginal Micmac population probably exceeded 35000.
