I don’t think there’s any evidence for genocide,

Back up, there may not be evidence for a single, concerted policy of genocide, but there are many verifiable genocides of Native American peoples by colonial polities and societies.

I think they meant there isn't evidence of Native Americans committing any genocides per se, but there is evidence of violence between them before colonists showed up

Ah, I misread it in that case.

What I mean is genocide by one native group of another native group prior to the arrival of Europeans.

My apologies, I definitely misread it then.
