    My history education in the west coast wasn’t as overtly spun to America’s favor llike that other reply but it was a simple “we did bad things to native americans, moving on to the next topic” sort of affair. They would have short sections that briefly hinted at the bad things we’ve done then follow up with page after page of people who sought to change that, various laws that have been passed to aid the people we’ve harmed, or efforts as a society/government to improve their situation (even if those efforts were essentially just lip service and did little to actually help).

    It paints an impression that while they’re still in bad shape now, everything is changingbfor the better and that we just need more time to fully fix those issues. Or that it’s all history by now and we’re already making up/made up for our wrongs.
