Of the greatest cover ups

00:00:02 --> 00:00:06

is the genocide of native people in the

00:00:06 --> 00:00:06

Americas.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

55 to 65000000

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

people

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

were killed in these lands

00:00:15 --> 00:00:15

and died

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

of either being murdered

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

or by disease

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

brought by the European settlers.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

So what is this word genocide?

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

What has been uncovered by the students on

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

campus?

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

It was already known by historians.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

It was already known by people who had

00:00:36 --> 00:00:36

suffered,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

but the masses of the people were not

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

aware of this.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

Even so called educated people. Genocide

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

comes from the Greek word

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

genos,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

which means a race or a people,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

and the Latin suffix credo

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

added to it becomes genocide.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

That suffix means to kill.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

So genocide means to kill

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

a group,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

a people,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

a race.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

Usually when genocide is mentioned

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

they will say the holocaust.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

They will say Rwanda.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

They will say Cambodia.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

And no doubts, these are genocides,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

but they covered something up,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

which is now coming to the surface, and

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

that is colonial

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

genocide.
