Whoa.  You should really stop talking.  You have NO idea what you're
talking about.  How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to
speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history),
confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among
other things.  But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it
-- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand
is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing
to share it it all with you.  Why, when they handed out their hand to
be friends, you chopped it off.  Remember, they're the ones who gave
us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today.
Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples
here.

You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of
conquest.  Sorry....
