In Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles the planet Mars is now labeled suitable for human life thus leading to people inhabiting Mars and colonizing it.

Like the Native Americans the martians were forced to leave there homes for the new settlers. Also like the Native Americans the martians were introduced to diseases they have never encountered like Chicken Pox and killed a large percent of their populations.
