Americans definitely suffered when the Europeans came over and stole their land, of course we didn't call them "Americans" at the time.
There is a long and shitty history in how the US treated the native peoples, like most places conquered during the era European colonialism.

it is occupied; there is a full staff and a foreign service member with the title "Chargée d'affaires" as the acting ambassador, but as such they can represent the US, but not the POTUS, as an ambassador does.

Maybe India is just taking the scenic route...
...which includes scenes of genocide; not a good look India.
I say this as an America; we know thing or two about genocide.

There is an embassy, but there hasn't been an ambassador since 2021.
