The Europeans bribed the Native Americans and also sabotaged them and made them fight against each other.

That's about the dumbest and laziest answer I've ever seen for a question such as was asked. Native American tribes joined europeans in wars against other natives because long before the europeans arrived, native Americans were warring against each other, to varying degrees of success. Once the europeans arrived some tribes aligned themselves with them because they were rewarded for their loyalty with assurances that their longstanding fueds with other tribes would be met with the full force of their European allies. Sure, europeans re-introduced horses and brought gunpowder with them to the new world, but war they did not.

How did ethnocentrism affect the Native Americans and Europeans?

Interactions between the Native Americans and Europeans was customarily done from ethnocentrism on both sides. Europeans had two main ways of connecting with the natives. They either treated them in an inhumane way, such as making them slaves, or simply taking their possessions, or they were treated as heathens, who needed to be converted to Christianity. Natives either were willing to trade and work with the whites, perhaps due to earlier positive experiences with Europeans, or they were hostile based on what they felt was an encroachment on their territory.
