The video is a visualization of agricultural activity and human populations in North America over the years, but the genocide shows up pretty clearly. Right around the beginning of the 16th century, hundreds of the green pixels representing agricultural activity start winking out. Then, you can see the settlers sweeping from east to west across the US.

Most of the deaths are probably due to diseases instead of outright murder, but it's important to remember that when the settlers realized the indigenous people were vulnerable to their diseases, they tried to deliberately spread the diseases.

Here's a version for the entire world, that starts at 10,000 BCE.

Here's a YouTube version of the video, if the Tor site won't load for you (it didn't for me):

Thanks, didn't know there was a youtube version.

That's my own Tor site. If you're not using the Tor Browser, then you won't be able to access .onion sites. Do you mean you weren't able to get to it through the Tor Browser?

Never heard about it before now. I assume the problem is with Tor2Web, then - I just tested accessing my hidden service from several different Tor circuits, and they all worked.
