Is 100% extermination successful enough for you? Indians (most reservation residents do not prefer 'Native American,' partly because of pedantic comments like "I was born here so I'm native") as a race obviously survived, but certainly many unique tribes were totally obliterated, with other suffering population decreases of 90-95%. Claiming that this is not totally successful genocide would be like wiping out every single Tibetan, then saying it's not genocide because there are still Asian people in the world.
