They were treated with great respect, as: Early on, before many white women were in that area. The men would raid a village and kill all men, children, and ugly women - kidnapping the young women to be kept as whores / sex slaves or sometimes not killing those men or ugly women, instead using them as slave labor (A favorite tactic of the Catholic Church, see link below) and indiscriminately raping the young women. Later on different organizers would prepare hunting parties who would travel on trains shooting them (the Native people) with large bore rifles from the comfort of the train. Once the Natives figured this out, and stayed away from trains, they would organize horse parties that flushed them out (by shooting them) to the trains, where they would be shot. This practice was ended when the US Army "Indiscriminately massacred every Indian they saw" (quoting the News Print).

The California gold rush affected the native Californios from Mexico because the miners that had moved there in search for gold would raid and kill them for their mining spots or riches that they have found and had not yet sold. This happened almost only to the Californios as opposed to other Americans because as we know, discrimination from race happened very frequently in this time period. The same thing happened to Native Americans and the immigrant Chinese, except the Chinese also had a 20$ monthly tax, which would be over 4,000$ in 2016.
