        Yes but that’s a thing most nations do.

        Just to name one random example, the Swedes, Norwegians and Finns have historically been pretty awful to the indigenous Sami people of Lapland, suppressing their religion, language and culture

        Do you mean the Jomon period, comprising almost the entirety of paleolithic Japanese history?

            The Jomon were a diverse group of paleolithic peoples in Japan named for their use of corded pottery. I don't know of any evidence they were displaced in a fashion similar to modern colonialism - or even the conquests or mass migrations of antiquity.
