	Native American massacres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the long history of the English colonization of North America, the term "Indian massacre" was often used to describe mass killings of European-Americans ("whites") by Native Americans ("Indians"), and, less frequently, mass killings of American Indians by whites.
		In theory, massacre applied to the killing of civilian noncombatants or to the summary execution of prisoners-of-war.
		Similarly, massacres were sometimes mislabeled "battles" in an attempt to give legitimacy to what would today be considered a war crime.
