Slaver? Yes, there is some evidence for that.
Native abuser and rapist? I think the jury is still out on that one.

The rational is truly amazing.

Yeah, I don't know who those Native Americans think they are. Acting
like the own the place. Don't they know that the United States is the
Anglo's? Why do they think we went to all of the trouble to send them
on a scenic journey called the Trail of Tears? And after we rounded
them all up like cattle, we gave them nice pieces of land to develop
and use as their own. It's not OUR fault that most of the land we gave
them is arid, untillable, and won't sustain life.
