They didn't advocate genocide...

  He said "cultural genocide": Cultural genocide is the systematic destruction of traditions, values, language, and other elements which make a one group of people distinct from other groups.

    Thanks for the clarification. Interesting stuff (just skimmed the Wikipedia page). Seems pretty thorny to me. In this case, with uncontacted peoples, I can't imagine having them persist for hundreds of years (or more) without us trying to communicate some medical knowledge, at the very least. However, there is likely no easy way to do so.
