Were the Native Americans in North American victims of genocide? If not what was it that caused such a decrease in population?

This is hotly debated from what i`ve read and not a subject i know much of as i am from Wales. From what I have read it was more a case of the spreading of diseases more unintentionally than not. What is your opinion on the population drop and what caused it?
