Relations between Colonists and Native Americans
Key Events
The Fur trade between the colonists and the Native Americans has been making both sides lots of wealth.
After the French & Indian War the Native Americans that fought on the side of the french had their supplies cut off and forced to obey the rules of the british.
This made the native americans mad and that led to pontiac's war which was a native american uprising.

The Future Relationship of Colonists and Native Americans
When the American Revolution came to an the colonists forced the Native Americans onto reservations of land and they still live there to this day. So i would say the relationship has gotten worse over the years.
Response from Europe

- When the Fur Trade started the British really wanted to seize the land where it was happening
