 Actually, I think I'll have to go along with Sondra's take on this. The
 English almost _never_ got along with those they found before them. Anywhere
 in the world they chose to colonize. The key issue is: "settlement" as
 opposed to "trade".
 
 If you are talking about the English and the Pacific Northwest, it gets a
 little more confusing about who is "English".  The British, The 
anadians,
 or the Americans?

 A fairly significant majority of those that came in the "Great Migration"
 (1630-1640) were city dwellers.

 Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
     "Only when the last tree has been felled,
      The last river poisoned,
      The last fish caught,
      Will you recognize that you can't eat money.
                                             -Cree-"
