This important collection of essays expands the geographic,
demographic, and analytic scope of the term genocide to encompass
the effects of colonialism and settler colonialism in North
America. Colonists made multiple and interconnected attempts to
destroy Indigenous peoples as groups. The contributors examine
these efforts through the lens of genocide. Considering some of the
most destructive aspects of the colonization and subsequent
settlement of North America, several essays address Indigenous
boarding school systems imposed by both the Canadian and U.S.
governments in attempts to "civilize" or "assimilate" Indigenous
children. Contributors examine some of the most egregious assaults
on Indigenous peoples and the natural environment, including
massacres, land appropriation, the spread of disease, the
near-extinction of the buffalo, and forced political restructuring
of Indigenous communities. Assessing the record of these appalling
events, the contributors maintain that North Americans must reckon
with colonial and settler colonial attempts to annihilate
Indigenous peoples. Contributors. Jeff Benvenuto, Robbie Ethridge,
