"Quietly beautiful" you say.
Natives labelled subhuman "savages" in the white settler declaration in 1776 by the slave owning tyrant thomas jefferson. Sam Wolfson in The Guardian writes:
"The declaration's passage has often been cited as an encapsulation of the dehumanizing attitude toward Indigenous Americans that the US was founded on."

A Native community leader's response to their dehumanization and state sponsored ethnic cleaning by the white settlers (pioneers):
"Any holiday that would refer to my people in such a repugnant, racist manner is certainly not worth celebrating. [July Fourth] is a day we celebrate our resiliency, our culture, our languages, our children and we mourn the millions — literally millions — of indigenous people who have died as a consequence of American imperialism".

Theodore Roosevelt, 1886 on the continuing ethnic cleansing of Natives by the white settlers:
"I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth."
L. Frank Baum (that's the wizard of oz author) in 1890:
"The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians."
Baum days after the Wounded Knee Massacre of men, women and children, Dec 1890:
"The Pioneer has before declared that our only safety depends upon the total extermination of the Indians. Having wronged them for centuries, we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth."
Eyewitness at Wounded Knee, chief of the Oglala Lakota, stated, "A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream ... the nation's hope is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead."
Ethnic cleansing the Native people (not "savages") while moving west was cited as the template for the Nazis and their movement east ("Our Mississippi must be the Volga" - Adolf Hitler in 1941), with Hitler in 1928 praising the white settlers who had "gunned down the millions of Redskins to a few hundred thousand, and now keep the modest remnant under observation in a cage".

Martin Luther King Jr in his 1964 book Why We Can't Wait:
"Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shores, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or to feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folkore all exalt it."
