Indian Endemic: The Intentional Decimation of Native Peoples
()
About this ebook
For centuries, American descendants of Europeans enacted purposed plans for ridding themselves of what they saw as problems created by Native Americans. Some of these plans were intended to wipe out Native Americans entirely while some others were meant to curtail efforts of Native Americans, push them away, keep them in controlled environments, completely subjugated, while forcing them to cede nearly all of their lands, at the most minimal of prices, keeping them forever subservient to and dependent upon their white "masters."
Several short papers contained herein discuss some of the pandemic and legal problems faced early on, while the longest work, "Today's Racism was Yesterday's Protectionism," examines how the policies for assimilation, designed and enacted by Thomas Jefferson, sought to completely transform forever all customs, beliefs, and lifestyles of all Native Americans, to forever "whiten them."

The Red Man’s Burden
We lost our lands
To unseen hands
To never know again
The life, the love
Of one another
The Earth, the hunt,
Our soul, our Mother
Only now, empty man
We wash ourselves
In ancestors’ blood
No way back
But now to die
In the white man's flood
And to be buried
In snow and mud
We have no home
But what the white man made,
To live alone
And die in a place
Where there is no shade
Our Mother is dying
Our children are crying,
And it would not be this way
If not for the lying
We accepted,
Though trying,
We were not protected,
And many are denying
That they are infected
With the disease of
Heritage neglected
That has nearly gone away
Role of Disease in Settlement of British North America
Most settlers that came to British North America were very poor. There is a theory that half or more of all settlers that came to British North America were indentured servants or redemptioners. Because of being so poor, many had to cross the Atlantic Ocean on very dingy, disease-laden ships. Once arriving, many were immediately pressed into service as indentured servants, or when the redemption system began, pressed into service very shortly after arrival. Having to serve for three to seven years, sometimes more if a person ran away, got pregnant, or in some other way violated their contract, these servants were given very poor accommodations and were very susceptible to rampant diseases. Many of them died not long into their term(s) of service, from overwork or these diseases.
Diseases spread like wildfire, as medicine was still primitive, and there was little access to what treatment(s)
