The White Man never forbid us from assimilating. In fact they tried to make us white. Haven't you ever heard or read about "Indian Schools"? The Government took the children away from there families and put them into "Schools" which were basically prisons. The poor kids had their hair cut short, they were put into uniforms and they were beaten if they spoke their native language. They were sent to these "schools" not for an education but to have the "savage" taken out of them by any means possible and to be made "white".

Invasion of the Ohio following the Revolution, ending with the Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Greenville, which ceded most of the midwest to the US.
Trail of Tears following the Indian Removal Act of 1830...the expulsion of the eastern tribes during the Jackson administration.
Unitl the Indian Citizenship act of 1924, many were not even US citizens.

none.
Genocide means an organized systematic policy of killing.
Not resettling
not pushing people into other areas
not putting them on reservations.
just killing them.
See: Nazis and Jews/Gypsy's, Turks/Armenians, Tutsi/Hutu and on and on throughout history
if the policy of Americans and American governments form 1753 onward had been genocide, there wouldn't be a Native American left on the continent.
