Question

Do you think the native Americans feared the colonists when they first arrived in North America? What was the main cause of friction between the two groups

Answer 1

The Native Americans feared the colonists when they first arrived in North America because of the language barrier. They could not understand each other and therefore they had now idea what the colonists intended to do.

Answer 2

Yes. Imagine yourself in the native Americans place, they see strangers coming to their land. I think the main cause of friction was just the diversity, and unfamiliarity between them.
