National Congress of American Indians  

Definition

  • Native American history is wrought with atrocity and abuse from the earliest days of Columbian exploration in America, from the forward attempts of physical and cultural genocide to the indirect microbial plagues brought to the shores of the continent. For five centuries, the American Indian population has faced a life of despair and near extinction. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Services and Diversity; National Congress of American Indians]
