What were the founding fathers' views on Native Americans?

I think we can adress one issue rather easily, concerning
Did the founding fathers have a lack of respect for the natives
A very simple answer would be to look at how relations with the Native American Tribes were handled: Treaties.
from here:
In referring to the constitutional grant of treaty-making powers to the chief executive—with the "advice and consent" of the Senate—Washington declared that a similar practice should also apply to agreements with Native Americans. The Senate acceded to the President's wishes and accepted treaties as the basis for conducting Indian relations.
In response, Congress proceeded to approve a treaty with seven northern tribes (the Shawnee, Miami, Ottawa, Chippewa, Iroquois, Sauk, and Fox).
Another site here discussing some of these treaty negotiations:
Alexander McGillivray and 26 other Creek chiefs signed a treaty with President George Washington in New York. While Washington did not love Indians, he treated the Creek delegation to dinners, parades, and diplomatic ceremonies that equaled, and some say exceeded, those accorded to any European diplomatic mission.
So is the founding fathers opinion concerning treatment or respect for Native Americans written, yes, as law. They determined to treat them with the respect due any Nation, by conducting treaties in the same fashions as those with the European powers of the day.
