There were many more than 6 major Indian massacres in the far west--many of them in California. There were more than a dozen such incidents on the great plains in which
more than 75 native people were killed:

1. 1855 Ash Hollow. 86 Lakota killed.
2. 1858 Antelope Hills. 76 Comanche Killed.
3. 1859. Rush Springs and Crooked Creek. 105 Comanche
killed in attacks on 2 villages by same army unit.
4. 1863 Bear River. 278 Shoshone killed.
5. 1863 Whitestone Hill. About 150 Lakota killed.
6. 1864 Sand Creek. 163 Cheyenne and Arapaho killed.
7. 1868 Washita. 111 Cheyenne killed.
8. 1870 Marias River. 176 Blackfeet killed.
9. 1871 Camp Grant. 85 Yavapai-Apache killed.
10. 1877 Big Hole. 87 Nez Perce killed. The soldiers
were eventually driven away.
11. 1890 Wounded Knee. About 153 Lakota killed.

There were many "smaller" massacres as well; e.g.
Sappa Creek in 1875 where 27 Cheyenne were killed.
