“Indian reservations” are old concentration camps

then German concentration camps

and the strategic hamlet program was retro concentration camps.

and ICE detention centers are the new wave of concentration camp.

Strategic Hamlet Program - Wikipedia

I get the sentiment, and by no means are the reservations good or something that should’ve been how it played out, but I do feel like putting them on the same level as ICE centers and concentration camps downplays just how bad those latter two really are/were.

putting them on the same level as ICE centers and concentration camps

You’re right they were way fucking worse than that.

Thank you for this knowledge, I had no idea that reservations were this bad.

Would you happen to have any books/resource recommendations for where to learn more about the actual Native American history?
