Answer:

They did not know many things about the indians. They only knew that they were very different from them, looked different, had other customs, and had a different religion.

Precisely because of this last aspect: religious differences, the pilgrims did not have a very positive opinion of the indians. Pilgrims were very close-minded, because they believed that the calivnist version of protestant christianity was the only valid form of religion.
