It is not true to say that no one alive was victim to the two century attempt to destroy Native land and identity. Well into the 1960’s and 1970’s young native children were taken from their families to be sent to Indian schools or to be placed with white families. This was done to strip these children of their heritage.
It was not until 1978 the the Indian Child Welfare Act was passed to address this issue
This in Not ancient history
