[edit] Massacre?
I correct the category from just plain Category:Massacres to the more specific Category:Massacres by Native Americans. I wonder if this should really be called a massacre since they killed enemy combatants which seems to fall outside of the Webster's definition:
- the act or an instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty [1]
Or is this is case of it originally being referred to as a "massacre" by their enemies of the time (propoganda), in which case the massacre should be put in inverted commas?

If a party of a dozen Indians had been killed and mutilated by whites, would you call it a massacre?Joescallan 19:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
