How has genocide ever been practiced or condoned in the US?

Though many claims are disputed, some historians contend that European settlers and the US government implemented a series of actions with the ultimate goal of the total genocide of native people. Some estimates go as high as 100,000,000 victims. Methods for the removal of native Americans included deliberate infecting natives with European diseases they had no immunity for, military attacks on native villages, bounties for native scalps, forced removal from their homelands, and forced sterilization. In 2000, the director of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs apologized for participating in the ethnic cleansing of native Americans.
