Now, California governor Gavin Newsom has made a first-of-its-kind apology to the state\u2019s Native peoples.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s called a genocide. That\u2019s what it was. A genocide. [There\u2019s] no other way to describe it and that\u2019s the way it needs to be described in the history books,\u201d Newsom said at a blessing ceremony for a Native American heritage center. \u201cAnd so I\u2019m here to say the following: I\u2019m sorry on behalf of the state of California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Up to 16,000 Native Californians died in the genocide, which took place from the 1840s through the 1870s. Most of the deaths occurred during hundreds of massacres during which state and local militias encircled and murdered Native peoples. The genocide was facilitated by discriminatory California laws and the outright support of state officials and Federal authorities who condoned and supported the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/native-american-genocide-california-apology?fbclid=IwAR3145Xuj9QpmqTwJEaV_lDKH6fLI6nyrN4eTI3XobYXIihOvEGwvTyQgSk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/native-american-genocide-california-apology?fbclid=IwAR3145Xuj9QpmqTwJEaV_lDKH6fLI6nyrN4eTI3XobYXIihOvEGwvTyQgSk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: Not only California, all the planet was victim of genocides perpetrated by a minuscule white minority from Europe: USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South and Central America, Africa, etc\u2026 But natural order will always take care of human disorders\u2026 &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":337428,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rael.org\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
