Oh, dude, the native Americans didn't exactly have a gift shop of diseases to pass around to the Europeans. It was more like a unintentional exchange program where they unknowingly shared illnesses like smallpox, measles, and influenza. So, yeah, the Europeans got a few unexpected souvenirs from their travels.

JordanI believe Europeans are the ones that gave diseases to the Natives, Not the other way around.
<different user> The Europeans gave the Native Americans disease, but the Natives also gave the Europeans knowledge on how to survive in the wild I think, correct if I'm wrong,please!!!
I suggest you check out syphilis and the Native American. Both gave their own version of biota to each other.

Why did the Native Americans hate the Americans in the 1800s?
Americans took Native American lands away from them and forced them to move west to the worst lands. They took Native American children away from their parents and put them in schools taking away the Native American languages and culture. They gave them blankets infected with small pox which killed thousands.
Europeans kill many Native Americans why?
This question is Biological in nature, but can be simplified to fit the historical context. Basically, if you isolate two populations, they will adapt to their different environments. The environment in Europe differed than that of the Americas; therefore, Europeans adapted in a different manner than American Indians. One of the adaptions stems from the proliferation of various diseases in crowded cities and close proximity to animals (part of the reason the Black Plague was so disastrous). Because of the number of novel diseases in Europe, Europeans had built certain immunities. The immune systems of American Indians, however, were not familiar with the diseases found in Europe. When introduced to the common cold or influenza, the American Indians could not fight them off. Many millions of native peoples in the Americas died as a result.

How did settlers attract native Americans to the missions?
The Native Americans didn't really have a choice. They were forced (most of them). Many were killed when they refused to give up their traditional beliefs.
Why did tensions increase between native Americans and white settlers?
because the white folks, (English, Columbus all they wanted was gold and eventually the native Americans ran out of gold, and said that they didn't have anymore. but the English demanded more and the native Americans couldn't give them anymore. so the English started to kill more native Americans
