I don't believe a person or a society can be evil, but it strikes me that as people look for a representative of evil that they always seem to look as far away as possible ignoring the atrocities at their feet.

I agree that the treatment of Native Americans was/is worse than bad. I also think that slavery was a very sad chapter in American history. So, no evil society or person perpetrated this evil? A representative of evil did? Evil by proxy.
Perhaps an investigation needs to conducted to look into the childhoods of those who ordered and carried out these atrocities?
Since these evil acts were not carried out by evil men, how may those who continue to oppress be brought to justice? Is not genocide an evil thing?
