The Quakers of Pennsylvania were good neighbors with the Indians.
Most of the French were good with the Indians. They traded for furs with them and sent some priests to convert the Indians.

I think most of the settlers did not intent to kill the natives. But, you can't rule out that there are always bad apples. Besides, when people fight for land and resources, there's good chance that some may get killed.
When the Monguls and the Huns invaded central Asia and eastern Europe, they, too, killed a lot of native people. The Monguls bloodbathed Kiev and Baghdad, and defeated the European allied army within 3 days. Can you imagine how many got killed?

White europeans came from many areas. The "white" europeans from Russia in the 1600 and 1700s came with the nobility who visited Europe and other places. They generally traveled to learn and study crafts, trades, educational ideas, etc. and not to kill "natives".
I believe it was only the German and English with their innate brutality who were imbued with the despicable "manifest destiny" belief that they and they alone were worthy of being Rulers of the World, who brought death and destruction to so many natives in so many lands.

Define "kill". In Tahiti, for example, Europeans did not kill natives with guns, but typhus and smallpox carried by Europeans brought the population count from between 120,000 and 200,000 in 1770s to about 16,000 in 1797...

Not as many in Australia as America, and I have heard that genocide was unknown in New Zealand.

There are no conquerors in the world that didn't destroy the culture of the land they were after and/or destroy its people.
