Many times killings go hand in hand with ethnic cleansing, but that doesn't make it genocide. Take a look at the Balkans, or Germany, again, after WW2.
And in order to be considered genocide, targetted extermination would have to be the standard practice when dealing with every indian tribe, which it wasn't.
