Imagine group of Native Americans hunting in (what is now) New England circa AD1000 to AD1500. Suppose they encounter a group of foreigners (either another group of natives or possibly Europeans), how would they react to them? Would they be hostile, friendly or indifferent?

in the novel I'm reading there's a bit where traders are traveling through the Sasanian Empire (circa AD265) and they encounter a group of Roman soldiers who were captured and allowed to set up a pseudo-roman settlement in Persian territory. Did the sassanids really treat roman soldiers like that?

Wikipedia says the Trent used to be uses for freight before the canals. Where the Trent runs through my home town it's only a few dozen meters wide, shallow enough to wade across, and very windy. How could you use a river like that for shipping?
