What is the population numbers today of people of Indian descent versus then, James? I think before we make any proclamations regarding oppression we need to see if the race is being exterminated or allowed to flourish or fall of it own accord.
I would say it can't really be counted? A LOT of interbreeding occurred between "whites" and "Indians" (and black slaves as well), to the point where Indian genes are spread through a majority of the population, IMO.
