Why did the french get along better with the Indians better than the other europens?

Answer 1

The French had better relationships with the Native Americans than most other Europeans because they didn't treat them badly. Instead they converted to their religion and didn't push them off of their land like the Spanish did.

Answer 2

A leading figure in France in the 1600's was Samuel de Champlain. He made friends with a nearby Huron Indian tribe. He granted their request to fight alongside them in a battle with their enemies, the Iroquois. The French recruited Indians to help with the fur business, which was actually a hardship for the Indians who were subjected to the colonist's diseases and asked to do things that were against their religious beliefs. But nevertheless, the French and these Indians remained partners. When the Spanish came to the Americas, they too interacted with the Indians. One of the biggest effects of the Spanish-Indian interaction was the introduction of the horse to the Indian people. This was one of the only positive impacts of the interaction of the Spanish and the Indians. The term the "Black Legend" was created after the Spanish invaders killed, enslaved, and infected natives with disease. This was a more accurate description of the relations between the Indians and Spanish. British relations to the Indians can be summed up with the Anglo-Powhatan Wars, when the Indians were brutally defeated.

Answer 3

For the most part, they were not interested in making permanent settlements except

perhaps to establish trading posts to trade in furs or whatever the Indians had to offer in exchange for whatever they could bring in. They were also interested in stirring up trouble for the British and sometimes for the Spanish and would sometimes give away gunsor other things that the Indians might want.

Answer 4

... I myself am native so this is a pretty easy question!

The Aboriginals trusted the French more then the British because the French were active and good trading partners which the Aboriginals benefited from.

They traded many things including...

• Pots (these items made life easier for the Aboriginal)
• Pans
• Knives

The British were not willing to trade with the Aboriginals, instead they were greedy and wanted to dominate the Aboriginal and push them off the land. They were only quite fond of the Haudenosaunee ( War like tribe)

Answer 5

the french were happy to trade with the native Americans, and they don't just go on the native Americans land unlike what the british people do.

Answer 6

they had a good relationship with France because France gave them food
