Genocide of Indigenous peoples in North America

David MacDonald

Chapter 2 in Handbook of Genocide Studies, 2023, pp 28-41 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The genocides (plural) of Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island (North America) is an enormous topic, encompassing a cases over five centuries, and comprising many methods of group targeting and destruction. A short handbook chapter provides insufficient space to fully engage in a properly systematized analysis of all genocides here. Instead it outlines three overlapping approaches to the topic: one that references the Genocide Convention, another focusing on geographic concentration and forcible assimilation, and a third considering whether colonialism is inherently genocidal.
