55 million Native Americans died as a result of a systemic genocide by any means necessary, including intentional biological warfare. This is a pretty well documented historic fact. Here are a couple of more examples for you:

The Cherokee Round up that you reference happened in 1838 (200 years after the end of my statistic). I agree that there was systemic genocide, physical and cultural, but 90% of the indigenous population of North America died before those policies even started

It hasn't stopped to this day. The policies have stayed the same. Settlers came with the goal of eradication of the native population, and that's what's been happening from the start to this very day.
