The UN Genocide Conventionā€”adopted by the member countries in 1948 but not ratified by the United States until 1988ā€”defines *the crime of genocide as ā€œany of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another groupā€* The *participation of people with good intentions doesnā€™t change a system that exists to cause harm. In fact, the participation of good people ensures its success.* In the United States and Canada, *Christian denominations were funded by the government to create schools on and near Indian reservations.* most of these schools were *run by the Catholic church* but that does not absolve *other denominations* that only had a few schools or none at all.ā€
