Natives of where?
To the other Europeans they mostly traded with them. Sometimes they would find an easy village or a defenseless monastery they would raid it, simply for the wealth they could steal.
To the Native Americans they attempted to set up trade with them, but according to the sagas, it went foul when some of the Natives approached the Viking armory, and the guard killed one. They fought a battle, in which the Vikings lead the charge with their bull (the Native Americans had never seen such an animal and were deathly afraid of it). After the battle, the Vikings knew they wouldn't be able to stay there in peace, and so left.
