American values

The values of the US settler-colonial project, are native eviction, and genocide.

The values of the indigenous peoples were not considered worthy to the european settlers, so they did their best to wipe out hundreds of peoples/tribes/cultures. You either don't know that history, or worse, you are proud of it.

I highly suggest reading both An indigenous people's history of the US by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, or her Not a nation of immigrants.
