They were driven out
They were killed. It's crazy how genocide enjoyers will sneak in the subtlest genocide apologia every chance they get.

Erm, yikes! I'm pretty sure that's not true. This is what we learned in history class:

"First Nations" suggests this is a Canadian text book of some kind, and given that they're currently engaged in at least one "land dispute" that would be a war of aggression if international law was good for anything other than toilet paper, and a number of other disputes with First Nations people, I'd say this might be real.

They're the polite North Americans so of course they did their genociding in a polite way.

Oh indeed. A fun one to read up on is the expulsion of the Acadians. The proto-Canadian Brits decided to literally ship off francophone inhabitants of what are now the Maritime Provinces, so that British settlers could move in and have ready-to-use houses, farms, businesses, etc. It was small in terms of total number of people affected, but ranks damn high on percentage of those affected. Living conditions on the ships used were appalling even by the standards of the day. It was a coin toss if someone who went aboard would arrive at their destination alive.
A lot of survivors made their way to New Orleans and the surrounding area in the US, because it had a large francophone population already. The word "Cajun" is an evolution of "Acadien".

Y'know it's funny.
I'm not from North America and I came across some discussion about Cajun cuisine just the other day and I was like "Hm... I wonder where all the Cajuns came from exactly" and I leaned about the ethnic cleansing of francophone Acadians.
I never knew that the death rate of the people being forcibly removed though, that's pretty horrific (and I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise.)

Oh yeah, and don't forget that Aboriginal people never had permanent settlements either!
That's fake right? This isn't really a children's schoolbook, right?
