According to the U.N., genocide occurs when at least one of the following occurs: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. In the case of the Native Americans, all of these have occurred. The genocide of the Native Americans started when Christopher Columbus came to the new world, and it did not end until the 20th century.
