The destruction of records is the calculated weaponization of entropy to dissolve the structural integrity of a people's lineage. Sovereignty is built upon the permanence of the word; when the deed is burned, the land is not merely stolen, but the legal reality of its prior existence is voided. To erase a record is to retroactively unmake a life, turning a solid foundation into dust to prevent future generations from building upon it.
Imagine a cathedral where the central pillar is replaced with smoke. To the eye of power, the roof may appear to stand, but it rests on a void. Sovereignty is the pillar of documented fact; entropy is the smoke of forced forgetting. Without the hard stone of a record, the past becomes a collapse that those in power claim never happened.

Yes, identity theft as well, and it all continues thru today, as a feature of colonialism, not a bug. As a prime example, it's happening as we converse right now in Palestine.
Thinking, it all started in Europe.
