What's your country's history with Aboriginals?

Yet to be announced is the use of the children as guinea pigs for testing pharmaceutical products. Testing that the companies would have paid the government to be allowed to undertake.

I've been told by several adults institutionalised when children that they were given experimental drugs both in New Zealand & Australia.

I wonder if the difference lies in who actually did a lot of the founding of our respective nations. Many Australians ended up there as outcasts from Britain. America was founded by puritans, funded by business interests in Britain and land grants from the king.
What occurred in the US has happened where ever colonization took root - sadly the US seems to have this propensity for rewriting and denying it's horrible treatment of Native Peoples and all other peoples of color. I've known about this for a long time and the reason many do not know about it is our education system.
Sadly it's an Australian-born American businessman who founded among other businesses fox, a broadcast entertainment/"news" network that continues to keep many uneducated here in America.

The U.S. government authorised over 1,500 wars, attacks and raids on Indians, the most of any country in the world against its Indigenous people. By the close of the Indian Wars in the late 19th century, fewer than 238,000 Indigenous people remained, a sharp decline from the estimated 5 million to 15 million living in North America when Columbus arrived in 1492.

It is estimated that during the initial Spanish conquest of the Americas up to eight million indigenous people died, primarily through the spread of Afro-Eurasian diseases, in a series of events that have been described as the first large-scale act of genocide of the modern era.

How many Native Americans died on the General Winfield Scott Trail of Tears?
According to estimates based on tribal and military records, approximately 100,000 Indigenous people were forced from their homes during the Trail of Tears, and some 15,000 died during their relocation.

The lists of massacres, poisonings, deliberate infections and murders for land or profit goes on almost ad-nausium and yet even today the indigenous peoples of the US, Canada and Hawaii are denied any real or appropriate form of justice or recommence

Almost all countries in the past have committed genocide and other atrocities, and that is nothing to be proud of. But yes you may have a limited and very reasonable pride in your country, if its culture has grown up enough to admit and acknowledge it past fully, since that is a real achievement and true patriotism is based on where we are today, not on the achievements or crimes of long gone ancestors, whose doings now belong to all of humanity, and not just single states.

I'm not proud of any atrocities committed by any majorities of any nations. All are shit.

We can talk about what England’s kings did, or Egypt’s Pharaohs, or the Aztecs. The US sounds pretty tame in comparison to others.
I’m pretty proud of that.

And the same has happened in Australia, Canada & New Zealand. Americans are not alone in their culpability.
