Hello there Native people,
I am sorry to bring up topics that touch open wounds for your people but, as a non-Native, it is difficult to find readings on your history and so I ask for your help. I hope I am not being disrespectful.

In our Western school history textbooks, we study very little about Native people. Often the subject is covered in a few lines so that we gloss over the topic without ever dwelling enough to ask questions about what really the colonists\americans did to your people.

During my university studies (historically Universities have always been left-leaning here in the "empire's outskirt") some of my professors have covered the subject, always briefly, but talking openly about genocide and exploitation. In the course of my political education, I have encountered more and more people talking about it but I would like to properly explore the topic.

Americans often find it convenient to identify the Nazi who exterminates Jews as "the villain", but what they have done to Native Americans is the exact same thing only they successfully managed to disrupt an entire nation and hide it from the eyes of the rest of the world (passively or actively complicit).

I have been recommended American Holocaust by David Stannard but I wanted to ask if this is a worthwhile read for you or if you know of other sources on which to build knowledge on the subject.

Thank you for your time and sorry for my bad English
