Today I happened across the following story:
Hollowed out: US Army fights brain drain

The story had a reference to the American Indian Wars. Then I decided to check out some wiki articles on the American Indian wars...
302 years of war with the Amerindians...

Note how the wars apparently started with a massacre in 1622 of humans from Europe.
But we also have the earlier Spanish conquest:

People are people & savages are no more noble than anyone else. Also people born here are just as much a 'native' as anyone else. That's what native means - born in a given place. Also everyone here is a descendant of immigrants, whether it's 100 or 500 or 10,000 or 20,000 years ago. And children should not be saddled nor blamed for the sins of their parents or people who happen to have the same skin color. Again people are people regardless of color. Sometimes noble & sometimes not so much.
