The puritans did not like the Native Americans. They had sort of a standoffish attitude towards them, because they did not put God first. Instead they put survival first. This caused problems in the puritan communities, and were not welcoming to the natives. This was ironic because the puritans left England because of the religious persecution in England. Then they are persecuting others for not being of their faith. The puritans never saw the native's way of living as a good idea. They thought if you live by The Bible and live for god, then if you are meant to survive, you will and if you die from malnutrition or other survival needs God wanted you to die.
