    As of 2010, the estimated population of American Indians and Alaska Natives was 2.9 million - 0.9% of the total population.

    		If this question was meant to include Mexico (as it should), the (Yucatec) Maya (Maya'wiinik) number 2,475,575: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_Mexico#Indigenous_groups_with_a_population_of_more_than_100.2C000

    "The Cree are the largest group of First Nations in Canada, with over 200,000 members and 135 registered bands," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cree so the Maya would seem to be the largest North American tribe.
