The nature of the relationship between the Indians and the English changed over the period from 1600 to 1700.

Explanation:

The relationship between the Native Americans and English began when settlers arrive in 1607 and establish Jamestown colony. The settlers faced not only the climate but the hostile Native Indians. With a lack of skills and less food supply, surviving became hard in the colony.

The Native Americans gave food by showing their hospitable toward them and conducted trade with settlers.

After some time, the settlers began to develop agriculture to become less dependent on the Native Americans. The relationship among the two groups worsened after English colonists abducted Pocahontas and took over more Native American land for plantations and to extend their colony. The increasing land grabs increased the hostility, which led to frequent ambush and war.

the government paid religious orders to provide basic education to native american children on reservations. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bureau of indian affairs (bia) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the off-reservation carlisle indian industrial school.
