Genocide of Indigenous peoples

Genocide of indigenous peoples is when people from one group abuse, hurt, and kill people from another group, who have different cultures or traditions, named indigenous peoples. This happened in many parts of the world, including North America and Australia. In North America, indigenous peoples, like Native Americans, were forced off of their lands and taken away from their families, and many of them died. In Australia, indigenous peoples were treated unfairly in many ways, including by the government, and their cultures were ignored. In both cases, the people who did these things wanted the land and wanted to get rid of the indigenous people so they could use the land for themselves. This was wrong, and it needs to stop.
