Quite. In fact, the native population of North America is higher today that it was at the time of the American revolution.

Primitive hunter gatherer societies cannot support dense populations. Never have, anywhere in the world. Nomadic herdsmen have denser populations, and new stone age farmers have an order of magnitude larger populations, let alone modern industrial societies.

The ones that disease did not carry off were simply inundated by far more numerous members of a more advanced civilization. Which they were perfectly able to join, and most eventually did so.
