With one major difference: there are a lot more of us than there are of them.
Not then. The government didn't include Native Americans in the census in 1820, so historians need to WAG that number.
from the net sifter:
In 1820, there were 7,452 white settlers counted in the Michigan Territory,
historians estimate that there were roughly 8,000 to 15,000 Native inhabitants living in the Great Lakes region at that time, primarily from the Potawatomie, Ojibwe (Chippewa), and Odawa (Ottawa) tribes.
