I think the most important difference between hutterites and natives over their respective history is that hutterites were european, looked and acted european, were well versed in european farming techniques and well educated. As such they really weren't any different a hundred years ago from every other european immigrant.
Natives on the other hand were totally unused to large scale farming, so land ownership was essentially useless to them, they were visibally different looking and, a hundred years ago, reeling from a serious of epidemics that had wiped out 50% of their population and left the surviving communities shattered and disfunctional.
As such 'we' first developed our views of natives by our interaction with a decimated population that was in shock.
