Polling of turtle island indigenous peoples indicate that a good majority still prefer the term Indians. You can read Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz All the real indians died off and 20 other myths for the reasons.
Source for that 75% claim? Wondering how it’s calculated since I’ve heard ~90% died to plagues the settlers brought, but since 75% is below that it seems like it’s calculating something else. Is it referring to some specific time period?
Didn’t the US recently celebrate the 250th anniversary of genocides?
Genocide began well before independence from Britain.
I didn’t realise there was an American Indian genocide, although I did hear a lot about an indigenous American genocide.
