The invading society has tried in every way to disrespect and degrade the image of those who were here already, in order to escape being known themselves as genocidal murderers, torturers, and land thieves who stole an entire continent, while murdering as many as possible and traumatizing the survivors, treating them as strangers in their own homeland.

It's an important event when any actual truth actually is revealed about them at all.
