One text describes the interaction between William Kieft and Native Americans in New Netherland. The other text describes the interaction between the French and Native Americans in the Pays d'en Haut region. Contrast these two interactions.

The context in the question is taken from the "Nothing But Firing" and "French-Native American Relations in the Great Lakes Region".

Explanation:

From the text of "Nothing But Firing", we sees that William Kieft establishes or makes a very violent and an abusive relationship with the natives. He allowed to murder or killed many of them so as to prevent any conflicts with the Indians for claiming their lands. At the end of the text, the author says that he was unaware of the fact that nearly 120 native Americans were killed in Pavonia, near the Hudson river. This was made by a conspiracy of Kieft who planned this murder.

But in contrast to the text given in "French-Native American Relations in the Great Lakes Region", the relationship between the French and Native Americans were quite different. As per the text, the French were more diplomatic and peaceful in their approach towards the native Americans. It resulted a cooperation and harmonious relationship between the French and the natives that proved to be very beneficial for all both the French and the native Americans for a long time.
