A little fine tuning: instead of saying the US and Canada “committed genocide” on Indigenous people say they are “attempting genocide”.
We aren’t dead yet. We aren’t “all but extinct”. The government is still pouring resources into erasing us, killing us, and stealing the rest of out land. Some nations are even fighting for sovereignty because they were never actually defeated.
Genocide is a process, not an event. Don’t let them off the hook by making it sound like a bad thing that’s in the past. It’s happening right now. We still exist. We are not “all but extinct”.
