    Plus hundreds of treaties saying “OK we gonna occupy only up to this line but no more pinky promise, just stop raiding us and we’ll all get along in peace UwU” that were systematically broken by the same crakkkers that imposed them in order to stiffle the natives from full on war

      Reminds me of something messed up I once read where native Americans who had tentatively been ‘accepted’, who chose to try and live like crakkkers and even fought other native Americans and were given some place to live ended up finding the acceptance they thought they’d achieved disregarded by crakkker settlers eventually and hunted down and murdered, the supposed protection they were promised nothing more than empty promises.
