I believe handing out blankets infected with small pox, relocating
Native American populations to concentration camps (reservations), invading and burning villages while shooting everyone in site and smashing the heads of newborns with rifle butts and shoe heels can be called genocide. Not to mention intentionally destroying all know food sources in order to cause starvation. Low estimates put the population decline to 2/3 of the population wiped out within one generation of first contact. Remember, the largest city in the world was in the New World at the time of first contact.

genocide means a deliberate policy of systematic collecting and exterminating of a people without any other policy........kill em all.......take no prisoners.

By that definition, your answer would be zero. The United States, Canadian and Mexican governments never had a policy where killing Native Americans was the only choice
