Simple. The French integrated with the Native Americans in a positive way, treating them with respect. The two traded and helped each other while the British treated the Native Americans very badly.

They considered the Indians savage and to prove it that often took land, murdering them. The last part is true but sarcastic of course. The bottom line is that the French respected the Indians and they in return treated them with respect, each working with and helping the other.
