  1. Genocide implies the intention to exterminate and an ideological motive. Many argue that the European settlers in the Americas wanted the Native Americans' land and that and once the settlers had made the Native Americans 'harmless' the killings largely ceased.
  2. The timescale ... Genocide is usually commited over a much narrower timescale.

Whether these points are conclusive is another matter, however.
