Ongoing? Please explain. My own country (Canada) is sadly guilty of committing what is tantamount to indigenous genocide in the past through residential schools. But I haven't heard of anything so serious happening currently.

My own country (Canada) is sadly guilty of of committing ongoing indigenous genocide. One merely needs to look up the term as defined by the United Nations Genocide Convntion to understand how.

It defines genocide as any of these five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group":
