The English settlers and explorers seem to have viewed the Powhatan natives as innocent, simple people. Captain John Smith wrote a book entitled "The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles" which frankly describes the natives as "backward, barbaric and dangerous". This effectively set the tone for all dealings with North American natives from that time onwards.
The first tribe to encounter the settlers was the Powhatan Indians. As in Pocahontas and John Smith. :)
I think the Europeans tended to view the American Indians in more romantic terms than did the settlers - as "noble savages", so to speak.
Most Powhatan Indians got around by walking or by horse
