Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Dutch were mostly interested in economic relationships with Native Americans rather than trying to convert them to Christianity, as was the case with the Spanish. The Dutch generally sought peaceful relations with Native Americans and were not interested in driving them into English colonies. There is no evidence that the Dutch called Native Americans a deceitful race.
