What did the natives think about the Europeans?

This question is not an easy question to answer, because most of the historical accounts and records we have today were written or told by Europeans. We cannot know for certain what the Native Americans thought of the Europeans, but we can learn how the bigger part of the Native American population reacted to the arrival of the Europeans on their land.
At first encounter, the Native Americans were rather surprised by the physical appearance of the Europeans, especially the men. Many Europeans were traveling on their ships for a very long time, and so they didn't have a lot of time to maintain their personal hygiene; they had long beards and have not bathed for days and maybe even weeks, and many of them were sick. According to several sources, the Native Americans weren't exactly fascinated by the arrival of the Europeans and were actually somewhat wary of the situation; they realized that other people have arrived on their land and decided to wait and see what their intentions were. The majority of the Native Americans, however, were kind and hospitable. Some of them even thought that they could trade with some of the Europeans, as the Europeans had iron and steel.
