Murder of indigenous people of North America
'''North American Indians''' (also '''Native Americans''') are the descendents of those groups that migrated from Asia to North America at the end of the last Ice Age. The Native Americans of North America are typically considered to be all those tribes north of Central Mexico. While technically part of North America, most archaeologists tend to place the civilizations of Central Mexico into a seperate category.[2] Tribes in North America maintained a wide variety of [[subsistence pattern]]s, from hunting and gathering, to intensive agriculture. North America is also home to two of the most unusual groups of hunter-gatherers, the Northwest Coast tribes, and the Aleuts.

The deliberate murder of the vast majority of native North Americans by immigrant settlers and the military forces of the country still goes largely unrecognised by the USA. This slaughter, which took place mainly through the Nineteenth Century, ranks of one of the worst genocides in human history.
