In the long history of the European colonization of North America, the term "Indian massacre" was often used to describe either killings of Europeans by indigenous people of the North American continent ("Indians") or mass killings of indigenous peoples by Europeans.
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.
