The Indians were mostly upset with the Americans and decided to help the French out of retaliation. The French were nice to the Indians and treated them well and the natives in turn favored the French. The liked the French so they wanted to help them win so that they could be treated better and live peacefully under French "control" because they feared if Americans won that they would be treated terribly again.

Why did the Indians support the Canadians in the war?
Multiple Indian tribes can be found one each side of the French and Indian War (also known as the seven years war). The Iriquois for instance supported the British almost exclusively. Most indians however assisted the French for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the French had more of a symbiotic relationship with the Indians. They trade with them frequently and had more of an amicable relationships while the English fought many wars against the Indians massacring indiscriminately (First and Second Pequot War for instance. Also the French were the first to arrive in the land that Indians controlled and they did not attack on site. Another reason was that English and Indians had strict borders whereas the French intermingled with the Indians much more and therefore were further ingrained into Indian Society.

Why did Indians side with french?
I believe it is because the French treated them better generally. The reason behind this was that the French had less white settlers than the British and could not afford to lose favour with the Indians, especially the Huron tribe. The French also had greater interation with the natives as they would trade furs and one of the major French goals in North America was to convert the Indians to Roman Catholicism, not massacre them like the Spanish
