Long Island was purchased legally. Native population today is higher than it was in pre colonial times. Fuck the revisionist out of context jew history. What our ancestors did wasn't pretty but everyone on earth is better off for it.

This. Old World diseases had already spread up to North America and killed off most of the native population before Jamestown and Plymouth were established. There was almost no one here, and native groups often collaborated with whites, at least at the beginning.

We've come a long way in how we deal with the issues of aboriginal peoples... Unfortunately the history of their treatmentnisn't a pretty story. Lots of children reeducated and lots of non-integrated people forced onto reservations or killed. Canada is guilty too. Also, Canada is a British state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_Westminster_(1931)
