This is true! But we don’t celebrate it or proudly name rockets after it

What a weird thing to say. Of course it was a genocide, that some tribes may have been slavers or that a meager remainder of their people and culture somehow survives in reservations doesn't make what Europeans and the early US did to their people and culture any less terrible, or not a genocide.
