The exam board AQA apologises and says the textbook should never have been approved.
An A-level history textbook has been withdrawn after a youth worker said she was "horrified" to discover an image asking whether the treatment of Native Americans had been exaggerated.
Hannah Wilkinson, who offers history mentoring sessions at Durham Sixth Form Centre, said the exercise was "quite problematic"."The period we're looking at is a period of American policy where Native Americans were treated terribly," she said. In this time the Native American population fell heavily, partly due to new diseases brought by the Europeans and partly due to wars and massacres. Several historians have accused the colonialists of a "genocide" against Native American tribes.
