"Raphael Lemkin was explicitly moved by the Armenian annihilation to coin the word genocide in 1943 or 1944[14] and define systematic and premeditated exterminations within legal parameters.[15]

"The Armenian Genocide is acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides,[16][17][18] because scholars point to the organized manner in which the killings were carried out in order to eliminate the Armenians, and it is the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust.[19]"

What day is the Christian Genocide against Pagan Native Americans day?

Was it the Catholic Church or another Christian church that directed and funded these attacks or maybe European monarchies? Did the churches formally direct them and approve of them? Shall I call the Japanese subjugation and murders of Filipinos the responsibility of Buddhism because some in their ranks may have called themselves Buddhists?

Here is a portion of what the Catholic encyclopedia speaks about life amongst American Indian tribes before and after Columbus. I ask, just how much do you think it matters to an Iroquois tribesman if he is enslaved or tortured by a Huron Indian vs a white settler? Or was it all dancing and peace pipes before the white man arrived?

As war is the normal condition of savagery, so to the Indian warlike glory was the goal of his ambition, the theme of his oratory, and the purpose of his most elaborate ceremonial…

To the savage every member of a hostile tribe was equally an enemy, and he gloried as much in the death of an infant as in that of the warrior father. Victory meant indiscriminate massacre, with most revolting mutilation of the dead, followed in the early period in nearly every portion of the East and South by a cannibal feast. The custom of scalping the dead, so general in later Indian wars, has been shown by Frederici to have been confined originally to a limited area east of the Mississippi, gradually superseding the earlier custom of beheading. In many western tribes, the warrior's prowess was measured not by the number of his scalp trophies, but by the number of his coups (French term), or strokes upon the enemy, for which there was a regular scale according to kind, the highest honour being accorded not to one one who secured the scalp, but to the warrior who struck the first blow upon the enemy, even though with no more than a willow rod. The scalp dance was performed, not by the warriors, but by the women, who thus rejoiced over the success of their husbands and brothers. There was no distinctive "war dance".

Captives among the eastern tribes were either condemned to death with every horrible form of torture or ceremonially adopted into the tribe, the decision usually resting with the women. If adopted, he at once became a member of a family, usually as representative of a deceased member, and at once acquired full tribal rights. In the Huron wars whole towns of the defeated nation voluntarily submitted and were adopted into the Iroquois tribes. On the plains torture was not common. Adults were seldom spared, but children were frequently spared and either regularly adopted or brought up in a mild sort of slavery. Along the northwest coast, and as far south as California slavery prevailed in its harshest form and was the usual fate of the captive.
