And while I haven't read them, you'd probably get a good overview using books like this. Look up illustrated history's of Native Americans (if you like to have images), or cambridge/dk history's of Native Americans and the like. The library is your friend for this because you can get several and decide from there which ones you think are most helpful.

Start there. Then come back with questions if anything seemed to pique your interest.
On the issue of the genocide in particular, since you request that, I recommend American Holocaust: The Conquest of the New World by David E. Stannard. I found it very interesting. It is very much source and historical account aware and documented. He covers quite a bit of the religious motivations and justifications involved, which is upsetting to many people and provokes a several denialist response, so be forewarned. The truth is very different from the so-called (re-) education I received as a youth in state run schools, promoting stories that I later found were myths. I mention this only because your post suggests you have had a similar awakening. I don't find this topic to be easy or comfortable reading, and I commend your interest in pursuing the truth.
I have a rather large library myself at my home so I can list hundreds of titles that I have found interesting, so any list I give will be necessarily truncated. It's helpful that you specify the specific area you are interested in. I feel you might also find Peter Nabokov's Native American Testimony of interest, since it contains nothing but first person accounts, one after another, and gives a lot of insight into our perspectives and the way we view things.
There is also the exceptionally well produced 500 Nations documentary which was hosted by Kevin Costner, and the excellent companion book by Alvin Josephy. The film documentary you can purchase on amazon, or watch on youtube, it's several hours long in multiple parts, and exceptional. The book fills in the details and contains a much more accurate history than we have been used to seeing presented.
Thank you for your interest in digging deeper.
There were two series made "The West" & "500 nations" both which resulted in books, if you are particularly interested in the Native American side then https://www.amazon.com/500-Nations-Illustrated-History-American/dp/0517163942 but both books are well worth reading - "The West" tells the story from the settlers side https://www.amazon.com/West-Illustrated-Geoffrey-C-Ward/dp/0316922366/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=the+west&qid=1551263193&s=books&sr=1-2
