It obvious that native Americans were prosecuted and that European immigrants murdered them, with guns and diseases!
It don't want to be a troll regarding the US here, but you also have to stand to what happend in the US (if you are American). Standing up to historic facts and living by them is a sign of strength and confidence.
The US has issuses that have to be dealt with. With Native Americans...
So let's hear some American officials of the time on that matter...
“A war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct.”
- California Governor Peter H. Burnett, January 1851
http://obrag.org/?p=1412“We hope that the Government will render such aid as will enable the citizens of the north to carry on a war of extermination until the last redskin of these tribes has been killed. Extermination is no longer a question of time–the time has arrived, the work has commenced and let the first man who says treaty or peace be regarded as a traitor.”
- Yreka Herald, 1853

"Now that the general hostilities against the Indians have commenced we hope that the Government will render such aid as will enable the citizens of the north to carry on a war of extermination until the last Redskin of these tribes has been killed. Extermination is no longer a question of time " the time has arrived, the work has commenced, and let the first man that says treaty or peace be regarded as a traitor."
In 1856, Thomas J. Henley, the superintendent of California Indian Affairs, claimed evidence of hundreds of Indians being stolen from their homes and sold into servitude. Militias at the forefront of the government sanctioned the murder of Indians in California. Typically attacking at night, the militias would murder men, women and children. William Kibbe, the leader of a volunteer company in the Humbolt area, claimed his men had killed over 200 Indians to open up land for immigration. - http://www.kumeyaay.com/kumeyaay-his...-genocide.html“The Indians of California make as obedient and humble slaves as the Negro in the south. For a mere trifle you can secure their services for life.”
- Pierson Reading, another of Sutter’s managers
http://obrag.org/?p=1412The Great California GenocideThe local authorities not only ignored the genocide in their midst, they encouraged it.Rewards ranged from $5 for every severed head in Shasta City in 1855 to 25 cents for a scalp in Honey Lake in 1863. One resident of Shasta City wrote about how he remembers seeing men bringing mules to town, each laden with eight to twelve Indian heads. Other regions passed laws that called for collective punishment for the whole village for crimes committed by Indians, up to the destruction of the entire village and all of its inhabitants. These policies led to the destruction of as many as 150 Native communities.The state of California also got involved. The government paid about $1.1 Million in 1852 to militias to hunt down and kill indians. In 1857 the California legislature allocated another $410,000 for the same purposes.
In 1856 the state of California paid 25 cents for each indian scalp. In 1860 the bounty was increased to $5.
The most famous of these massacres was the Clear Lake Massacre of 1850, in which between 80 and 400 Pomo indians were slaughtered.
