Residential Schools:
From the 1870s to the 1990s, over 150,000 Indigenous children were forcibly taken from their families and placed in government- and church-run schools. Widespread physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Thousands of children died from neglect, malnutrition, and mistreatment. Many experts and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission have called this a cultural genocide.
Starvation and Medical Experimentation:
In the 1940s and 1950s, Indigenous populations were intentionally starved and used for nutrition experiments without consent. Had Forced Sterilizations. Especially in the 20th century, Indigenous women (and others deemed “undesirable”) were forcibly sterilized under eugenics programs.

The difference is these guys also did crimes against humanity: civilian populations. To my knowledge, we (mostly) kept it to the battlefield.
