A day to give thanks, as well as ask for forgiveness.. Killing, enslavement, and land theft… Over 100 million Indigenous Americans were killed as a direct result of US actions. Christopher Columbus personally murdered half a million Natives. Two studies have been conducted that attempt to number the natives killed by the United
States. The first of these was sponsored by the United States government. Though, officials do not stand up to scrutiny, this therefore leads to such information
being then discounted (generally); this estimate shows between 1 million to 4 million killed. The second study was not sponsored by the US Government but was done
from independent researchers. This study estimated population reductions using later census data. Two figures are given, both low and high, at: between 10 million and 114 million Indians as a direct result of US actions. Note that Nazi Holocaust estimates are between 6 and 11 million; thereby making the Nazi Holocaust the 2nd largest mass murder of a class of people in history.
