What were the effects of the Mexican Cession, and the Mexican American War in general, on the indigenous populations of the present day southwestern United States?
I have many additional questions about the Mexican American war, mostly to do with resistance, desertions, the San Patricios and Indigenous populations of the regions of Mexico most significantly affected by the war and conquest. So, I would appreciate if you could share any relevant sources as well. Thanks.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Before I get started, I want to clarify a few things:
A. I am not a historian, just a layman. I thus welcome any corrections if you guys think I made a mistake.
B. I am not trying to downplay the atrocities that were committed against Native Americans, nor downplay the struggles they continue to endure today. Rather, I believe that the seriousness of this history is exactly why we should do our best to be as accurate as possible when discussing these events.
EDIT: u/ScallopOolong has an excellent, sourced comment below that I will reproduce here
>On the topic of intentionally spreading smallpox among indigenous people in colonial British America, there's the often overlooked smallpox epidemic of 1862-63 in the Pacific Northwest, during which some of the colonists and colonial authorities in Victoria, BC, did intentionally spread smallpox all over the PNW coast, ultimately killing over 20,000 natives.
>
>Not so much with blankets specifically, although that probably happened too during the Chilcotin War in 1864. After the epidemic, with native populations dramatically reduced, a wagon road was being built through Tsilhqot'in (Chilcotin) territory, triggering resistance, and retaliation. Like many native groups the Tsilhqot'in believed the epidemic had been spread with the goal of stealing land, which there is likely at least some truth to.
>
>During the Chilcotin War native people were still dying of smallpox. The road-building team and traders involved with them threatened the Chilcotin with smallpox, in part by allegedly taking blankets from corpses of Tsilhqot'in who had died of smallpox and selling them back to the surviving Tsilhqot'in. There is info about this in Kiran van Riijn's paper Lo! The poor Indian. He cites sources about the smallpox blankets story, admits he could not locate the sources cited in his sources but says he "believes that such a reference exists". In 2014 the BC government exonerated the Tsilhqot'in who had been hanged and said "there is an indication" that smallpox was intentionally spread during the Chilcotin War.

McKinley's administration had often been viewed as a failed one until the 1950s when he was seen as successful and strong, however in recent times people have reevaluated him and mixed receptions have came out of it. Many consider him a man of great intellect and authority, who helped form the America we know today. Others consider him no better than a tyrant, one who had disdain for the constitution and overreached his power for political gain. Whichever one you fall in, I do not blame you. He is such a unique, interesting and controversial figure that has many negative and positive qualities, and an evaluation of him can be fair no matter the conclusion presented.
DOMESTIC POLICY
Economy
McKinley's tenure, besides the foreign entanglements, was characterized by several economics decisions and reforms which would prove controversial. He turned his attention to the tariff, bankruptcy, gold and silver.
His first initiative was a protective tariff. McKinley hoped a high tariff would help gain more revenue for the government and could put an end to the high deficits created by the Panic of 1893. He knew that the strong Democratic opposition to tariffs would be an obstacle to run over, but with congressional sessions underway, his hopes were high. McKinley's biggest proponent was Nelson Dingley Jr., who was in favor of high tariffs as well and proposed a new bill (Dingley Tariff) to institute a high tariff. The bill passed with relative ease and fulfilled McKinley's wish, however he had more ambitions.
Next he looked to monetary policy, in which he advocated for the gold standard and strongly lobbied for it. His lobbying was successful, as he passed and signed the Gold Standard Act of 1900, which established gold as the only standard for redeeming paper money, stopping bimetallism (which had allowed silver in exchange for gold). Initially, he supported both gold and silver in hopes of attracting more support, however after his proposal for an international conference to officially condone bimetallism (proposed by France, the UK and the US, defeated by the UK due to it's strong opposition).
During the Spanish conflict, he passed the Bankruptcy Act of 1898 which involved bankruptcy to give companies an option of being protected from creditors. He also signed the War Revenue Act of 1898, authorized a tax on a wide range of goods and services, including amusements, liquor, tea, and tobacco, and r
