Humans are not native to America and therefore there cannot be any "native" Americans. Nor can there be any "indigenous" Americans since that term means "originating from", and paleontologists agree that the first humans on this continent came over the Bering land bridge from Asia 16,000 years ago. So the correct name should be First Settlers.

Of course, as with ANY part of this planet's land mass over the millennia, people migrate, fight, and take over areas from others.Nothing different here from the Huns sacking Rome, the Vikings raiding Britain, or the Spanish invading South and Central America. Get over it. We all came from Africa.
