Both. Native American groups were never consistently hostile, nor generally consistently friendly. Even the pro-White Crows became annoyed about traders dealing with their enemies the Blackfoot tribes and briefly surrounded a trading post (this incident ended without any casualties on either side).
The Arikaras (also called Rees, Rickarees or Arickarees) had a reputation in the 1830s for being hostile to the Whites, but severe epidemics of smallpox and other diseases quickly reduced the size of the tribe so that they became a mere shadow of their former selves.
The Arikaras then joined with the remaining Mandans and Hidatsas for mutual protection and no longer presented any kind of threat to pioneers, hunters and settlers, some even serving as scouts for the US Army.The link below takes you to an image of Arikara scouts enlisted in the US Army during the 1870s:
