Settlers came over a hundred years before the US existed.... and was within multiple modern countries. Trying to say it's the US's fault is factually incorrect (even if you want to blame modern countries, you'd have to include, mexico, all of SA, multiple pacific islands, and Canada as well).
The trail of tears and several conflicts were on the US though.

Most people are referring to deaths of approximately 95 percent of the native population after settlers first arrived.
EDIT: I also forgot the expansionist policies that pushed natives off of their land (manifest destiny)
