That depends on who you ask. Relationships between Native American's and White Settlers ranged from friends to outright ritualistic slaughter.
Up to 1830 or 1832 most Cherokee emulated and got along with whites; after that violation more began to call white men (and their culture for what it is) - this was further exacerbated by the next violation of treaties known as the Oklahoma Land Rush (taking away the last of our lands) in 1889. As a general statement, most Native Americans hold hostilities to any white man today (either directly, or for allowing their government to 'do this' and not do something about it - this concept involves cultural differences between whites and natives; we have a habit of killing our leaders when they violate their word (leadership responsibility), where whites expect it to happen and only question how bad it will be).
This is a cultural / religious question that European society has been trying to write about, as well as understand for as long as they have been exposed to native Americans. There is no easy or simple answer to this question and it would take years of study for you to even begin to understand the stories and concepts involved. As the simplest (and wholly lacking) answer: Native Americans had a deep respect for EVERYTHING - in the world view of a Indian a rock was equal to a man in rights, as well as respect. As a very real rule, that is about the best answer you will get from any tribal member - as they have given up on trying to get 'whites' to understand these relationships.
The whites involved in the Trail of tears would have been the soldiers who accompanied and initiated the migration, and the settlers and government officials who ignored the Supreme Court and required the migration.

All whites living on Cherokee land had to pledge allegiance to the governor of the state.
It fueled the political pressures that led Andrew Jackson to forcibly remove the Cherokee and others.

Gold was discovered there.
To seperate the black from the whites
Under apartheid, people from the Indian sub-continent were classed as 'coloureds' and had a status between that of whites and blacks.
They built villages similar to the white settlements. Some accepted the Christian religion.
Technically their wasnt any segregation in this part of the country BUT in general whites tended to hate blacks and tried at best to keep to their own neighboorhoods away from blacks but you did have your mix relationships though looked down upon it did happen
