Did the Puritans like the native Americans?

There are many stories about Native Americans who liked pioneers-- and far more about the strife that existed among these peoples. Sacagawea,

for example, was a Native American woman who was extraordinarily instrumental in helping Lewis and Clark survey the Louisiana Territory (Louisiana Purchase). A fundamental source of friction between the Native American population and the pioneers stemmed from the pioneers' notion that the land that had been occupied and used by Native Americans was available for the taking. This seemed reasonable to the pioneers because they came from a culture that viewed land as personal property, but the NAtive

Americans did not share this perspective. Anyone might be inclined to dislike others who were taking something to which they had no inherent right.
