BECAUSE THEY WERE IDENTIFIED AS "REDSKINS"

("REDSKIN"A HATE WORD DEFINED, cont.)

	"... every redskin must be killed from off the face of the plains before we can be free from their molestations. They are of no earthly good and the sooner they are swept from the land the better for civilization... I do not think they can be turned and made good law abiding citizens any more than coyotes can be used for shepherd dogs"-1866,
-Major John Vance Lauderdale, surgeon US Army. Attending physician at Wounded Knee Massacre; Green, Jerry, After Wounded Knee, (Michigan State University Press, 1996)

THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF REDSKIN. This is the language of genocide. They explain the intentions behind the practices of European Americans against Native Americans. The Native American family heritage is one of a Human Being stereotyped as an Animal.
