The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Your question is incomplete. It does not mention what are the perceptions you are referring to. You did not include any text, authors, or references.
However, doing some research we can have an idea of the kind of information we need to help you with the following comments.
We are talking about the different perceptions in the opinions of Colonel John Bradstreet and Sir William Johnson. Bothe wrote opinions about the Six Nations, Native American Indian tribes.
So Indian perceptions of the relationship between the two groups differ in that Johnson said that although they were savages, they were smart people that lived a simple life and had all their needs covered.
Bradstreet wrote that the Six Nations tribes were warriors such as the Shawannese and Delawares and were difficult to deal with, but they could serve as intermediaries with other tribes against the French.
