WOW THE LIST COULD GO ON FOREVER. THERE ARE MANY GOOD BOOKS, DO NOT RELY ON TEXTBOOKS, AS THEY BASICALLY FALSIFY WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE EUROPEANS ARRIVED.

THE NATIVES WELCOMED THE STRANGE PALE FACED MEN WITH FOOD SHELTER AND OPEN ARMS. AFTER THE NATIVES TAUGHT THE WHITES HOW TO CULTIVATE THE LAND AND HOW TO SURVIVE OFF OF THE BOUNTIFUL NATURAL RESOURCES THE WHITE MEN DID THE FOLLOWING TO NATIVE AMERICANS:

ENSLAVED THEM, RAPED WOMEN AND CHILDREN, SCALPED, TORTURED, DEFAMED, POISONED, BEAT, CATTLED...OH LET'S NOT FORGET THE ATTEMPTED GENOCIDE...

MICROORGANISM WARFARE...THEY SUPPLIED TRIBES WITH BLANKETS AND HANDKERCHIEFS THAT THEY INTENTIONALLY INFECTED BY THEIR DEAD SOLDIERS, WITH DISEASES SUCH AS SMALLPOX AND DIPHTHERIA.
THE NATIVES HAD NO IMMUNITY TO THESE DISEASES, BECAUSE IT ORIGINATED IN THE EUROPEANS...

IT IS A HORRIBLE STORY THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN FOR FAR TOO LONG....

PLEASE BE SURE NOT TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ IN THOSE DAMN TEXTBOOKS, THEY GLORIFY THE SETTLERS-THEY WERE ALL GREEDY HORRID HEARTLESS PEOPLE.

Carnage:Epidemic disease undeniably contributed in large
measure , but in many European explorers themselves detail their murderous intentions and actions they enslaved the native people, chaining them together at the neck and marching them in columns to toil in gold and silver mines,decapitating any who did not walk quickly enough. They sliced off women's breasts for sport and fed their babies to the backs of armored wolfhounds and mastiffs that accompanied the Spanish soldiers. "They would test their swords and their manly strength on captured Indians," wrote a Spanish witness to the massacres,"and place bets on the slicing off of heads or cutting of bodies in half with one blow."

destruction on an even grander scale In November of
1519, Hernando Cortes and his accompanying conquistadors became the first Westerners to gaze upon the magnificent Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, an island metropolis far larger and more dazzling than anything they had ever seen in Europe. Less than two years later that incredible city, which had had at least five times the population of either London or Seville at the time, was a
smoldering ruin.
Tenochtitlan, with its 350,000 residents, had been the jewel
of an empire that contained numerous exquisite cities. All were
destroyed. Before the coming of the Europeans, central Mexico,
radiating out from those metropolitan centers over many tens of
thousands of square miles, had contained about 25 million people--almost ten times the population of England at the time.
Seventy-five years later hardly more than 1 million were left.
And central Mexico, where 95 out of every 100 people perished,
was typical.

They conquered their cities & took their original languge, & they mixed with the Mexican Indians, that's all I really know.

Would they not then be "Native Mexicans?" Aren't they taking over fast enough as it is?
