Oh, My! PC history

See "California and the Indian Wars"
"No pretext has been wanted, no opportunity lost, whenever it has been deemed necessary to get them out of the way. At Nome Cult Valley, during the winter of 1858-'59, more than one hundred peaceable Indians, including women and children were cruelly slaughtered by the whites who had settled there..."
Just one of many similar massacres of Indians in California. See accounts:
http://www.militarymuseum.org/Massacres.html.
Keysville Massacre, Pyramid Lake Massacre, etc.
Indians forced out of productive land and into the desert or mountains- a part of western history.

Ask any Navajo about their forcible removal from their lands in Canyon de Chelly and surrounds and the destruction of their orchards and fields by Kit Carson and troops.
The decimation of the Apaches- on and on.
