The indigenous people of the New World were not hostile at first. In fact, some were extremely helpful to the Europeans who landed in a New World (to them), many in ill health, completely unprepared for life in a harsh climate and who failed to bring enough supplies to survive their first Winter. Remember that they were provided with food by the natives, food that enabled the colonists to survive that first Winter.
The native population was generally regarded by the incoming Europeans as being ungodly, sub-human savages. The Europeans believed that land was free for their taking as long as it was not enclosed in the manner that privately owned land was enclosed with fences, stone walls and hedges in Europe, especially England. The native population in the New World had no such practices. They roamed the land freely, although they had cleared land and planted crops for centuries. They had major meeting places and complex systems of governance. However, since they did not abide by English property law, the English assumed the land was free for their taking although some made token payments for huge tracts of land comprising thousands of acres. They paid in cheap trinkets, wampum and blankets and the natives had no comprehension of the consequences of those land transfers. The English settlers actually received their supposed legal titles for the land from royal charters granted by the Kings of England, who were assumed to be the legal owner of all the land in the New World.
Hostilities grew from the Europeans wanting to take more and more land and then not allowing the native population access to that land and from the realization on the part of the natives that they were not regarded as equals and they could not rely on promises made by the English in the form of treaties and agreements. As hostilities escalated into full scale wars, the colonists petitioned their governing bodies to wipe out the native population because they had become a constant threat in their eyes.

the changes as the natives met the settlers is that they were nice then they found out what the natives did like sacrifices so they stared to get sacred and they put them to work so they wouldn't be next!!
The French got along with many different kinds of natives. The French usually got along with natives that did what they wanted them to.
One of the problems that the New Hampshire colony faced was the difficult weather. Winters were often brutal. They also lacked good leadership and faced natives who were hostile towards them.
The struggles that William Clark faced were several. First, the weather proved to be a formidable foe. The rain would rust much of his tools and extremely cold temperatures often risked illness. Large populations of mosquitos also inhibited the pace of the expeditions and hostile natives following them in hopes of stealing their gear and food products was a continuous problem.

Unfortunately, there are hostile people in every society at any given time. Most of the time, these hostile people are native to where you find them. In the US, we have prisons full of people hostile to their fellow citizens and to society in general. There are also many of these hostile natives walking our streets that should be in prisons. In addition, the US is home to many diverse groups that are hostile to one aspect or another of US society, US government, religion, or specific groups of people (people who are not 'like' us). As long as people need to lock their doors, use security systems, maintain law enforcement agencies, it is evidence that there are still hostile natives among us.
