[PEN-L:9549] Genocide IS going on in US, Canada and elsewhere
[snip]
So many Indians see these contradicitions and forms of naked
hypocrisy and see them as simply newer forms of the same old
shit--slander, desecration, violation of Indian ways and cultures as
a means for facilitating the progressive extermination of those
cultures and assimilation of the few Indians who might remain.

[From a leaked BIA document. Note until 1962, the Tribes and Nations were
the sole authority to determine who and what is an Indian. In 1962 the BIA
put in the 25% blood-quantum rule for Federal recognition of enrollment.
This is like asking a Jew to accept a nazi defining who and what is a Jew]
"Set the blood-quantum at one-quarter, hold to it as a rigid
definition of Indians, let intermarriage proceed...and eventually
Indians will be defined out of existence. When that happens,the
federal government will finally be freed from its persistent
Indian problem." (Patricia Nelson Limerick, "The Legacy of
Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West" p338)
