Did you know about this? Probably Not............

"....An 1890 massacre left some 250 Native Americans dead, in what was the final clash between federal troops and the Sioux. Old people, women and children. On purpose by an leader in the military..
.......................................................................................................................................

from the link below
By the time the massacre was over, more than 250 men, women and children of the Lakota had been killed and 51 were wounded (4 men and 47 women and children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of dead as high as 300.[3]

You haven't heard about the ...Massacre at Wounded Knee, have you?

... total proof that we do not teach about "genocide of Native Americans"
