Why did the Puritans think that they had a natural right to Native lands?

Puritans believed that everyone should share and give thanksgiving.
Puritans thought the Natives were "godless savages" and God had given them the land.
Puritans thought they had no rights to the land.
Puritans were confused about Native land ownership.
