The native Americans in Colonial Maryland were very unappreciated. The chief of the Potomac Indians welcomed the settlers saying "We will eat at the same table; my followers will too go to hunt for you; and we will all have things in common." Though the Indians were acting for peace, king Charles I ordered that they be eliminated. The colonization led to the scattering of tribes and loss of Native American heritage.

To be blunt: poorly. The Jamestown residents saw the natives as inferior savages, and associated little with them. Often times negotiations were tense, even between natives and John Smith, who had been adopted into the nearby Powhatan tribe after his life was saved by a young native woman by the name of Pocahontas.

the settlers traded with the native Americans but that didn't help stop war! the native Americans took food away from the settlers and sent many raids through their villages.
