You can track the history of British migration to North America and Australia and find the same callous disregard for the lives of indigenous peoples. These efforts to eliminate the native peoples can only be described as genocide. Here's George Simpson, a nineteenth century parliamentarian,
(George Simpson, Member of the Legislative Council, “Protection of Northern Settlers Against Hostile Natives,” Parliamentary Debates Legislative Council, 14 January 1892, Vol II)
What was described as 'raids' by indigenous warriors were only efforts by native peoples to defend their traditional lands.
Here's a image of what happened to the native people who were captured in one those wars.
After such'wars' children taken from their families in Australia were also 'imprisoned' in church run schools, on the pretext that they needed to be 'civilised.'
A Royal Commission in Australia found:
Quote: "The current Royal Commission investigating child sexual abuse has brought to light the horrific and abusive conditions that children were subjected to under the “care” of various institutions. Not least affected were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, who were removed from family, land and culture under the auspices of “Stolen Generations” policies of the 20th Century.
The effects of such abuse – which include physical, emotional, sexual and cultural – have inherently damaged Indigenous communities, the inter-generational ramifications of which can be found in the ongoing high child-removal rates, incarceration, health issues and other poor outcomes across a range of social indicators.
The Royal Commission has a task ahead of itself in dealing with the cultural nature of institutional child sexual abuse when engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and requires the support of agencies such as the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service to do so. ... The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was set up in January 2013 in response to the overwhelming evidence of abuses committed against children while in the “care” of institutions such as church-run homes, orphanages, foster homes and social clubs. The federal government also recognised that the responses from such institutions – such as the “Toward Healing” and “Melbourne Response” from the Catholic Church – were inadequate.
While initially due to finish in July 2015, the Commission has been granted a two-year extension to 2017 due to the extremely large number of calls made to the Commission. The Royal Commission aims to provide the opportunity for survivors of sexual abuse to tell their story to a Commissioner in a one-on-one private session. It also investigates specific case studies of systemic sexual abuse through the Public Hearing process and conducts research into some of the broader issues involved.."
Nothing civilised about all that
