Hello!
While they tried to reach their objectives, their treatment to the natives varied according to whether they considered them more or less important for that purpose.
The Native Americans feared the colonizers, which is why when they saw them many tried to flee, and others have acted defensively towards them. The colonizers in principle tried to convince the Native Americans to achieve their goals, but over time they were showing hostile treatment towards them, raping the women, and treating these people as living objects of which they could take over to subject them to the slavery or whatever they wanted, including death. In this sense, the resistance shown by the natives towards the settlers has been a difficulty to establish a stable and good relationship, but it was not an impossibility for the colonizers who, independently of the will of the natives, have submitted them to their wishes.
I hope this helps.
Greetings.
