    i don’t disagree, but how much of that culture was lost-- how many cities burned, writings, works of art, histories-- people could have moved to the new world without killing millions of the people who already lived here, and forcing their own culture on all the rest

      Absolutely, it’s terrible and that loss is irreplaceable. I don’t want to diminish that truth at all, just to respect the indigenous people that want to emphasize their continued survivance.
