The biggest reason for the decline in their populations were the diseases that the Europeans brought with them. The Native Americans didn't had an immune system that can cope with them, so they were rapidly dying out. Another reason were the wars, both between the Europeans and between each other, which took their toll and lot of people ended up dead.
