Obviously, my Colonial American Hisotry is rusty. First Great Awakening began in the 1730's. Led to third wave of Indian Wars, including those known as the French and Indian War. The Great Migration preceded Metacomet's War (KPW). Still, Protestant's "awakening" have never been great for native peoples (or any other group capable of mass demonization.) In fact, have Arabs become the new Indians?

One important note: Each of the Great Awakenings also ushered in the great wars against American Indians, beginning with King Phillips War in the 1670s. There's actually a pretty decent body of scholarly literature on the subject.

So does Mark have any advice for those of us Indians looking forward to another period of institutionalized genocide?
