Peter Burnett, the first governor of California, did advocate for the removal of Native Americans from their lands and supported policies that contributed to violence against them. He believed that the expansion of white settlers into California necessitated the displacement of Indigenous peoples, which has been interpreted by many historians as a push for genocide. His views and policies reflected the broader attitudes of the time, which often regarded Native Americans as obstacles to progress.
