There were many other factors, these two being the largest ones.

Quite honestly, the English viewed the Native Americans as savages and Godless heathens. In fact many a Missionary attempted religious conversion for the Natives beliving it was their devine duty to save their savage souls. Also, there were many times that the Native Americans traded with the English and even supplied them with food during harsh winters. Without such assistance, many of them would have died of starvation. Sadly, the prejudice remained dominant within the English psyche.

The native American also interacted by teaching the English how to grow crops and more

That would depend upon the time period. The average attitude was that they were heathens at best, animals or savages at worst. During the latter part of the nineteenth century, as truths about the massacres of the Indians out west began to surface back east, there became a real backlash against the government for their treatment of the "poor Indians." Of course, the easterners failed to recognize what they had done to the natives. However, the 20th century was not without its own problems. It was only after the Indians returned as veterans that pressure was put on the government to grant them citizenship in their own land. However, in the beginning the Indian vets had to apply for it, as if they were immigrants. The Indian was unable to vote in every state in the union until Utah relented in the 1960 elections. Today, while racism still exists, the average American tends to dismiss it as trivial, largely because the Indian is still such a minority. Case in point is the Redskins. If any sport team carried the *n* word, Americans would be in an uproar. Yet to the American Indian, redskins IS the N word, but the average response to that is"oh, what are they crying about now?"

American policy towards Native Americans at the end of the 19th century?

Speaking in general terms, American attitudes and convictions toward Native Americans at the end of the 19th century were dismissive and apathetic, where any attention was paid at all. At the same time, the significant "Indian Wars" had all ended. Thus, the best description of American policy towards the Natives at this time would be the following: Native tribal power now having been broken, it remains solely to maintain the remnants of these people on the various nations as governmental funding allocated to the task will allow.
