I'll start this off by saying that I am a white male. Of course they killed white women. They depending on the tribe they killed whoever they wanted. The white settlers and US Army did the same to the Indians so I certainly don't feel that the Indians did anything that they should be condemed for having done.
In early American history, there are cases of Native Americans kidnapping white women. For example, Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by the Comanche at the age of 9. She grew up with the tribe, married a Comanche chieftan, and had three children with him. When she was "rescued" and returned to Texas, she was unable to adapt the European lifestyle. Stories such as this one inspired the "captivity narratives."
This figure fluctuates depending on who you ask. The US Government (a non-neutral source) officially states around 75,000 Indians. Several researchers (a neutral source) estimate between 14,000,000 and 122,000,000 (14 ~ 122 Million / double to 100 times the number of Jews killed by Hitler).

How was the problem between Native Americans and settlers resolved?
Generally speaking Courts and Society said that you can kill Indians, charge to kill Indians (for fun) and Indians cannot kill you (it is unlawful for an Indian to kill a white man). These same institutions also said: You can move onto the land owned by Indians, and as long a you make claim to it, you become the owners of the land and Indian law no longer applies to that parcel of land (IE: Native law that you can kill a thief cannot be implemented). The end result of this is: American's could move onto Native American lands, kill Indians, claim the Indian is the aggressor and call for the government to wipe out the tribe - and that is resolution.
