Between 1776 and 1887, the United States seized over 1.5 billion acres from America’s indigenous people by treaty and executive order.

I have not been able to obtain an estimate of the number of indigenous peoples killed by colonizers in that time, but it was a massive genocide. In this time of Pesach, it is important to think about who is missing from our communities and our nations, and what responsibility we have if we are descendents of those murdered.
