A Brief History of the Attempted Genocide

Although the European invaders attempted a complete indigenous genocide they failed, and although many indigenous cultures, traditions, languages, and much wisdom has been lost, the fact is there are currently 574 federally “Recognized” tribes in the US as of 2024 as well as over 400 “unrecognized” tribes including the Herring Pond Tribe of southeastern MA. There are also approximately six million Indigenous tribal citizens now alive in the US. How odd that the best concise summary of the American Genocide of the Indigenous Peoples is to be found at The Ministry of Foreign Affairs website of the People’s Republic of China.
