0.5% is a terrible genocide.
Nah it's a pretty good start, especially since they're using the deaths to kick everyone out of their homes into smaller and smaller areas, or forcing them into other countries. It's how the genocide on native populations has worked everywhere else, too, so we already know the playbook.
Such as?
Also, what's your definition of native?
I'm mostly talking in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, places in the modern period that have used settler colonialism to displace and destroy indigenous populations.
As for the playbook, generally it's you move a big population in at once, set up shop, take over, tell any locals to move over and enforce it with violence, use a treaty to keep the land and move them over permanently. Then, individuals slowly expand to their land, sometimes rogue, but usually supported by the government either way. They push the boundaries of the "given land" or take resources from it, the native population plea for help is ignored until they push back with violence, the colonizers retaliate with overwhelming force, enough to keep the land settlers have been slowly taking anyway and probably take more, the populations are displaced more, either put in a smaller box or forced to move over again. Repeat.
And God help them if there's resources revealed to be in their area, like oil.
