Some sources, such as http://etext.lib.Virginia.edu/etcbin/jamestown-browse?id=J1023 suggest that when the Europeans first settled in Jamestown, the relationship they had with the Powhatan Indians was very peaceful. The Indians helped them to settle by offering food such as Indian cakes and corn.

Other sites, such as http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powhatan#History suggest that the violence started right away.

Either way, there was violent interactions between the European settlers and the Powhatan Indians that led to mass murdering of both sides. Personally I would be more likely to believe the first link because it's a letter from Edward Maria Wingfield who was one of the very first to settle in Jamestown.

Why did the French have better relations with the Indians than English settlers?

The French had better relations with indigenous peoples in North America than English settlers because they were more focused on establishing trade alliances rather than displacing or subjugating them. The French often integrated with indigenous communities through intermarriage and the fur trade, whereas the English sought to expand their territories and push Native Americans off their land. This difference in approach led to more positive interactions between the French and indigenous groups.
