Native Americans in contact with English Settlers (1607)

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/lesson37.htm
This websites displays different sources, that were written as diary entries and they show how Native American's felt after meeting and talking to the settlers. Many of the sources also explain how the settlers lived and any problems they may have come across.

Source three is about the settlers losing some of their property and how the Native American's dealt with the situation; “Captaine Newport gaue thanckes to the Kinges and rewarded the theeves with the same toyes they had stollen, but kept the bulletes: yet he made knowne vnto them the Custome of England to be Death for such offences.”- http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/lessons/2578-popup.htm

Furthermore, this demonstrates that there was a civilisation amongst the people living in America at this time as they helped rectify the problem by finding the missing items, it is also clear the settlers and Native American's were able to communicate in an polite manner because according to source two; "Comrades againe, who had gyven notice all along as they came of us: by which we were entertayned with much Courtesye in every place."-http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/lessons/2580-popup.htm

Therefore, demonstrating that the the settlers and Native American's were able to get along and have a mutual understanding because they were willing to help each other out with anything they needed at that time. However, at times it would also appear that the settlers believed they could do anything they pleased: "they would shew vs any thing we Demaunded, and laboured very much by signes to make vs understand their Languadg."-http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/lessons/2576-popup.htm and this can be seen in source four, where as shown above, they can make demands and the American's will listen and obey the instructions because they could either be intimidated by them or there could be a miss-communication between languages and so they are unsure what is being said and don't realise how to respond so they do what is asked of them.

In conclusion it is clear from the sources represented on the National Archive website that in 1607 the Native American's and early european settlers were able to work well together, although there were times when this may have been slightly different, but overall it would appear that the native American's were happy to do anything the settlers asked or demanded them to do.
