How did bradford initially view the native americans?

He had a negative view about Native Americans, until the time when they assisted the puritans.  Then he still refused to speak kindly of them, but he did not speak badly of them anymore.  He used to clearly state his opinion of Native Americans in negative ways.  Basically, racists.  But when they assisted the puritans, i.e. being translators, he started opening up to them and accepting them.
