Talk:Timeline of San Bernardino, California history

Slaughter or genocide? Unmentioned or ?

To quote the article on the city:

In 1866, to clear the way for settlers and gold miners, state militia conducted a 32-day campaign slaughtering men, women, and children. Yuhaviatam leader Santos Manuel guided his people from their ancient homeland to a village site in the San Bernardino foothills. The United States government in 1891 established it as a tribal reservation and named it after Santos Manuel.

Yet this is missing from the timeline?

Are we talking California or Turkey? Surely we are not trying to not offend the Turks.

But IF this article is copied into French as it stands, it may soon constitute grounds for legal action in France (as not mentioning in a history is the first step to denying. The appearance of revisionism may soon be tantamount to revisionism under French code.)

And yes, I have read Samuel Hearne's diary entry on my ancestors cousins engaging in slaughter ("mere" ethnic cleansing on the margins of their "territory") of their fellow natives (the not-Us, the Others) in what became Canada. Human horrors, as matters of historical fact, should be faced unblinkingly.

Or will we revise the City article? Move the mention to a tribal oral history article?

What explains this elision, lapsus or neglect? Too few non-white editors of American articles? In general, this is not the case for articles on en.wikipedia.org and this lapsus should be explained and addressed. Are the facts contested?

The entries on this date:

"

1862 - A flood causes the Santa Ana River to carry three times its usual volume, altering its banks, wiping out nearby Agua Mansa. A smallpox plague from Los Angeles hits San Bernardino.

1870 - Regional rival Riverside, California formed by John W. North.
