So I just need to know what I could use to defend the Native Americans, it is a position paper basically blasting westward expansion and manifest destiny. Does anyone know of any specific cases where Native Americans culture was basically destroyed by 'the whites'. I know about the Carlisle Industrial School for Indians set up by Pratt but I don't know about anything else really.
 
If you read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, you'll have more than enough information on multiple tribes' mistreatment and multiple massacres by the whites. No one should leave this earth without reading that book.

The answer is that NONE of the 550 plus Indian nations in North America were able to avoid highly negative impact from the incursion of Europeans hungry for land.
