oppression memoricide is the destruction of the memory or extermination of the past of a targeted people 1 it also refers to destruction of the traces such as religious buildings or schools that might recall the former presence of those considered undesirable 2 memoricide is used in support of ethnic cleansing or genocide 3 and is related to cultural genocide 4 since memoricide refers to intentional attempts to erase human memory about something it usually takes the form of destruction of physical property 5 the term was coined by croatian doctor mirko grmek in a text published in le figaro on 19 december 1991 6 allegations of memoricide edit nazi party members at the opernplatz book burning in berlin where books and research material from the institute for sexual research were destroyed it has been argued that the burning of the institute for sexual research in 1933 by nazi students was an act of memoricide 7 the israeli 8 historian ilan pappé deployed the concept of cultural memoricide as systematic attempt of post 1948 israel in relation to palestine 9 spanish historian jorge ramos tolosa has also used this term in the context of the zionist israeli practices in palestine 10 according to one account memoricide was employed by greece toward macedonians of slavic origin 11 grmek used the term to describe activities of the rebel serb forces in croatia during the first year of the croatian independence war 6 memoricide of native americans edit under the objective definition of memoricide it is substantiated that the united states has deployed memoricide in their genocide of native american peoples 1 one of the earliest instances of memoricide against a native tribe occurred during the pequot war from 1636 to 1638 where colonial forces aided by the mohegan and narragansett tribes set fire to a pequot village effectively destroying dwellings and artifacts 12 significant quantities of artifacts have been lost though institutes and museums have recovered some such as weapon heads combs and instruments that honor their memory 13 the treaty after the massacre abolished the pequot nation scholar jeffrey ostler wrote that the war s ultimate cause was colonial expansion 12 in 1779 u s troops burnt the lodgings and crops of the haudenosaunee tribe also known as the iroquois tribe after declaring war on them in what is known as the sullivan expedition 14 the united states objective in george washington s words was the total destruction and devastation of their settlements in order to inhibit the nation s capacity to wage war specifically the cayuga and seneca indian nations of the six nations of the iroquois were targeted the campaign devastated 40 indigenous villages reinforcing george washington s nickname as town destroyer 12 15 in total from the 1770s to 1815 united states military forces burned hundreds of native american towns decimation spanned from the north in new york to the south in alabama and florida the destruction of indigenous villages and residences is categorized as memoricide 16 the institutionalization of memoricide was marked by the forced relocation of native americans in the 1830 indian removal act the act forced approximately 100 000 native americans to move to the west of the mississippi river from their ancestral homelands as reported by a team of researchers led by yale school of the environment professor justin farrell indigenous nations in the united states have lost 98 9 of their original and historical land as of october 2021 17 from 1863 to 1864 under the scorched earth policy union forces under philip sheridan and william tecumseh sherman forcibly removed the navajo tribe burning houses and crops slaughtering livestock and vandalizing properties in canyon de chelly 18 soldiers destroyed several thousand peach trees culturally significant to the navajo as a food source and symbol of independence 18 in the 1870s to 1880s the united states adopted a policy of forced assimilation and cultural extinction for native tribes intending to deprive them of their self governance with the dawes act of 1887 the united states attempted to destroy indian reservations via a de facto land privatization system 16 on june 2 1924 the united states opened citizenship to native americans with the indian citizenship act the act joined with blood quantum laws forced native americans who identified as mixed race to give up their tribal status which damaged indian cultural identity the civilization fund act established funded and forced indian children to attend boarding schools across the country 367 altogether with the incentive of erasing their language culture and identity at the boarding schools indian children were banned from speaking their native language wearing traditional clothes or carrying out traditional activities 16 rebecca nagle alleges that information about native americans has been systematically removed from mainstream media and popular culture according to the national indian education association 87 of state level u s history textbooks do not mention the history of indigenous people after the 19th century 16 see also edit damnatio
