Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz on Domestic Imperialism

From the earliest colonies, the US has been expanded its domestic empire and conquering native people.  In our wake, we have left a bloody trail of tears, wars, relocations, epidemics and broken treaties.  How has this tragic history shaped the way the US interacts with the rest of the world?  Has this imperialist urge been institutionalized beyond repair, or can we learn from our mistakes and redefine the way we interact with native people around the world.
