One of the most tragic pieces of literature I read this week was the <em>California&#8217;s Yuki Indians: Defining Genocide in Native American History<\/em> by Benjamin Madley. In his article he talked about the details of the genocide of the Yuki Indians in California. As if the murder, rape, and other mistreatment of the natives wasn&#8217;t enough, they all turned a blind eye to it. They being the government. Not only was the government ignoring this, they were actively enforcing it. I just can&#8217;t believe that anything like that would ever be able to go as far as did. I thought hearing about slavery of African Americans in America was bad enough. It makes me wonder what was all sugarcoated even about that time.<\/p>\n<p>Going along with this article, we talked about the definition of genocide. For the definition there are five actions that really make it a genocide. The five were; killing members of the group, causing bodily or mental harm, making circumstances intended to destroy a group, preventing birth in the group, forcibly moving the children to another group. These are the five actions that define genocide according to the UN. While reading\u00a0<em>California&#8217;s Yuki Indians: Defining Genocide in Native American History, <\/em>Benjamin really displays the events of the Yuki genocide that fit each of these actions. One action that really stuck out to me was how they forced the Yuki to only be able to eat about 400 calories a day, or less. I literally eat more than that for my snacks. I can&#8217;t imagine what all of the Yuki were going through during these times, and I hope nobody has to go through something like this ever again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week in American Indian Studies, I learned more detail about some of the stuff that we read\/talked about in class last week.
