Mr Herron,
I'd be interested to hear what you deem as an appropriate course of action
if you wanted a race of people destructed...
The taking of children into state custody was designed as an assimilation
tactic. Essentially this will lead to the destruction, no? Destruction of
culture, destruction of languages, destruction of oral histories,
destruction of the connection to land. The assimilation policy was
deliberate, there is no denying of this.
respectfully,
