Midchuck - Absolutely. There were plenty of massacres of white folks by Indians and of Indians by Indians, and of Mexicans by Indians and vice versa.

I am reminded of General Crook's argument with Geronimo. "You killed men, women, and children," he said.

"So did you!" retorted Geronimo. "In war bad things happen." Then Geronimo said, "But tell me one thing...why do the whites want ALL the land?" Crook could not answer that. The answer would have shamed him.

In general the Indians were inclined to help the whites upon their first arrival on these shores. The wars that later arose were largely due to the unlimimited desire of the whites to take over ALL the land, cut down virtually all the trees, and slaughter virtually all the wildlife. In those wars atrocities were committed by all combatants, red and white alike.

No one can claim to have a totally clean slate. So mention whatever massacre you like.
