 Governmental Genocidal policies and practices
 Colonization
 Racism
 Land theft and forced relocation
 Mission and boarding schools
 Disruption of systems and values- “resources” vs.
“relatives”
 Capitalism, and the commodification of nature- resulting
in the disrespect, overuse and pollution of the natural
world.
“So far as I am concerned, if
they are hungry let them eat
grass or their own dung."
Andrew Myrick, 1862.
