There were wars between the U.S. Government and tribes, renegades, and outright criminals from the Native American community, and sometimes the Indains were right - but we did NOT deliberatly use poison against them.

??For several decades from the 1920s to the 1960s, the Australian government operated a deliberate policy of cultural genocide.???.a very similar, if marginally less harsh, policy was operated by the US government against Native American and Alaskan Native Children, and with the same outcome. Both countries had previously tried simply to exterminate their native peoples by poisoning and shooting?
There is the case of the small pox infested blankets......some say it's true, others say it was a honest mistake.Quote:

From the above web site:
I would be the first to admit that a great many wrongs and tragedies were inflicted upon the American Indians, but a deliberate government policy of killing every Indian is ridiculous. There is no question that the United States Government instituted a policy of cultural genocide against Native American, but there is no evidence for a government policy of ethnic genocide, or total extermination. I challenge you or anyone else to supply one documented example.
Another View on Genocide:
Genocide means killing each and every member of group. The word genocide literally means killing a gene and the way to do that is to kill each and everyone who has that gene. The UN definition of genocide applies even if one member of a group is killed or mistreated. Let??s face it if you use the UN definition of any crime then US is guilty because according to the UN the US is guilty of everything.
This is what genocide really means:
Genocide is an official policy or an accepted policy where.
1. Every member of a certain group is killed in battle whether they surrender or not.
2. Killing every member of a certain group after they surrendered to authorities.
3. Preventing the escape of every member a certain group so they can be killed.
4. Killing any one who is a descendent of a member of a certain group.
5. The use of forced sterilization to prevent members of a certain group from reproducing while they are being held for eventual extermination.
It was German policy to wipe out Jews in battle. It was German policy to kill every Jew who surrendered to German authorities. It was German policy to check people??s back ground and if they had any ??Jewish Blood? and kill them. Jews weren??t allowed to leave countries under German control and attempts were made to return Jews to German control so they could be killed.
Here is what Armenian genocide was like:
1. Able bodied Armenian men were taken into custody and immediately killed or worked to death.
2. Other Armenian groups were taken into custody and immediately killed.
3. Then the remaining Armenians were taken on a death march and executed.
None of the above was U.S. policy or happened on a regular basis. There was never an attempt to kill each and every Indian. When were Indians prevented from leaving the U.S.? When were Indians peacefully living among white people rounded up and killed just because they were Indians? None of those things happened.
The use of the word genocide to mean anything other then the systematic attempt by one group to kill every member of another group is insulting to people like Jews and Armenians who really suffered from genocide.
One of my ancestors, a 6th great grandfather, was Captain Peter West, born in Martha??s Vineyard, and died of smallpox at Ft. Edward, NY, in Oct. 1757 - the result, no doubt, of contact with the infected blankets that were being distributed to the Indians as a way to eliminate them. :thumbsup:
45. PETER WEST .b. at Tisbury 21 July 1718, and d. of smallpox at Fort Edward, N.Y. 30 Oct. 1757 Peter lived at Tisbury and is said to have been a farmer or a shipwright. His claim to distinction rests on his military service, especially during the French and Indian War. Banks wrote, "he rendered distinguished service in the Crown Point Expedition of 1756 as captain of a company in Col. Thatcher' s Regiment and later in the regiment of Col. Zacheus Mayhew. In the campaign of the following year he was garrisoned at Fort Edward, N.Y., taking part in the hostilities and d. there. . . " Elsewhere Banks made further comment, although repeating some of the above information, "Perhaps the finest figure during this long series of campaigns was Captain Peter West of Tisbury . Hr is described as possessed of a splendid physique and became an ideal officer of dauntless courage. It is probable that he was a soldier in the Louisburg Campaign of 1745, but we first know of his military service of a certainty in 1755, when he was attached to a regiment raised in the mainland for the early campaigns in the long struggle. His services were mostly in the New York expeditions, Crown Point and Ticonderoga, but his fortune was to die in battle, where his military valor would have led him".
