This is in an ATL in which Norse and Irish settlement in North America is more successful, but ultimately failed due to the inhabitants "going native" so to speak. The result is something of a Vinlandic diaspora and a large, nomadic Euro/Native culture consisting of fairer skinned and slightly more European Native Americans from NE Canada to Virginia by the 1400s.
These Natives are culturally very similar to the Amerindian cultures in OTL, but with slightly better technology and slightly more resistance to disease. But mostly the largest difference is that they are for all intents and purposes predominately "White" or caucasian in appearance with lighter skin and hair than in OTL.
(Butterflies in Europe are nonexistent until after 1500.)
Now, my question:
Would French and English settlers treat these indigenous peoples differently/better than IOTL?
What would be the treatment of and the reaction to lighter skinned native peoples in North America?
And if the treatment is different, how do these differences effect colonial history and beyond?
(P.S. I just realized this might sound rather racially pre-occupied, and could be misinterpreted negatively. I think I explained it well enough, though, so hopefully no one will get the wrong idea.)
