Yeah sorry to buck the trend here though but AIM is hardly considered to be totally honest and partial as a source..slightly to the far left and that is being generous...Russel Means is about as trustworthy as the happily late Yasser Arafat or people of that ilk....and genocide is too little of a strong term here....there was never a deliberate plot to wipe out Indians in North America...whilst their were local miltary and civic leaders that may have plotted to do horrible things to local tribes, their is no evidence whatsoever for this inflammatory and dishonest charge..
Save it for the Armenians, Jews and Cambodians...people that truly were victimized by genocide...
Both the Red man and White man did horrible things to one another ...this was hardly a one sided battle....before the European's arrived, the Red Man was busy slaughtering one another and enslaving one another and in some cases, even human sacrifices...in other words, they were as much rotten as the rest of us....to this day, there are Indian tribes that can't stand one another...
Sorry but I can't stand revisionist history...and for the record, yes I have some Native Blood too...indeed, most people in North America do...
For another take on the treatment of Natives, visit this Comanche's website...he is definately not politically correct and hated by the Liberals, Red and White...

It will at least give you a more honest view of history then the usual nonsense served up by liberal academia....
