"Between 1776 and the present, the United States seized some 1.5 billion
acres from North America’s native peoples, an area 25 times the size of
the United Kingdom. Many Americans are only vaguely familiar with the
story of how this happened. They perhaps recognise Wounded Knee and the
Trail of Tears, but few can recall the details and even fewer think that
those events are central to US history."
An excellent article. Also via Xenophrenia.
