1. After Spanish Christopher Columbus discovered the new world which today we know as United States Of America (USA), the local population of Red Indians had to suffer the greatest ethnic cleansing and genocide which was carried out of the face of the earth.....

2. The scope of violence against Native people in the United States is truly staggering. In fact, it would be safe to say the historical genocide never ended. It is ongoing. It is the violence of stolen lands, of stolen children, of dispossession, of police, of payday lenders, liquor stores and pawnshops, of fracking and mining in Native territory. And yet, despite this furious and barbaric onslaught, Native people persist – unbowed.
But the murder, torture and mutilation have been gruesome. Take one statistic, cited in the recently published Red Nation Rising by four writers and activists: the Indian Health Service “sterilized between 25 and 50 percent of all Native women between the years 1970 and 1976.” Can you imagine if this had been white women? Howls of outrage would resound from CNN and NBC. Tucker Carlson would scream that the white genocide had arrived. But it’s Native women, so there’s nary a peep....

3. It is high time for the UN Human Rights Council to investigate US past and ongoing genocide of Red Indians for the following reasons:
(a) There are about 574 federally recognized Indian Nations in the United States. As they are landlocked, the US succeeds to lock them up like birds in cages and prevent them from joining the United Nations even though they are supposed to be independent, sovereign nations.
(b) To find a Red Indian tourist or student outside the US is rarer than seeing a blue moon. Why don’t they have the freedom to venture outside the US?
