They’re fucking passive. They should directly implicate the US. Instead of “We are on unceded land of the Salish people” we should say “The US government stole this land from the Salish people and genocided their tribe”

what's the correct term to use?

committed genocide

When people say “X were genocided” they mean the victims of genocide, not the perpetrators. What’s a word to describe the state of having genocide done to your people?

Y committed genocide against X
