The native American people were the original owners of the territory called the United States. The European settlers came in and took away all that the indigenous people had and forced them into reservations - all that they had was swindled, or stolen form them and their culture and way of life all but destroyed.

How did the Native Americans treat Europeans?

Like uncivilized savages if you are talking about the days of pilgrims. The Europeans saw themselves as a far more advanced and civilized culture so when they came, to what would one day be known as America, they saw people who ran around with little clothing, did not have carriages or even saddles for their horses. They attacked and killed invaders with primitive weapons and lived in what looked to be hut style homes. They did not know God like the Europeans did and so they were very misunderstood in their ways of life. For the native Americans of the time, their culture developed in a way that they used only what was needed and protected the land because it was life giving and worshiped by them as such. Although their methods were sometimes brutal and considered savage, they had a developed society, their own languages and way of life, however primitive to the Europeans it might be.so then the native Americans were treated bad because the europeans had to defend themselves so they had to kill some of the native Americans.
