Because clearly they have nothing better to do with their time. When I was in the Air Force I never thought military times or Air Force times would turn into partisan publications. Slavery and land conquest is as old as time. Doesn’t excuse any atrocities but it happened. Native Americans committed atrocities along with everyone else. There is a clip from the Wounded Knee movie where Col. Miles and Sitting Bull are talking and Col Miles points out the tribes that his tribe slaughtered to take the land they were on.
I’m so tired of this constant hand wringing over things that every other country did on some level. Shaka Zulu was essentially terrorizing and “colonizing” the neighboring tribes, and if he would’ve had the resources of the British Empire you don’t think he would’ve expanded his reach as far as possible?
If only I could have a Stargate and settle on a new planet although no matter how strict my rules are to start I would bet the civilization would eventually succumb to the usual stuff

You should read the histories of the Maori. Half the tribes disappeared as soon as proper guns were introduced. That's 150 years ago.
I’ve been watching a New Zealand show called Brokenwood. It’s a murder mystery show but it’s made me want to do a deep dive into Māori history.
Maori are awesome. Of the Polynesians, I consider them the most authentically friendly.

This should be a good start.
People always assume native Hawaiians are nice, but they don’t realize how many bodies Hawaiians stacked before we conquered them
