because of his weapons
The Huron wanted Champlain to join them in their conflicts against the Iroquois because they sought French military support and expertise. Champlain's knowledge of European warfare tactics and access to firearms made him a valuable ally in their battles. Additionally, they believed that having Champlain on their side would intimidate their enemies and bolster their chances of success.
The first European to see Lake Huron was not Samuel de Champlain, it was Etienne Brule.
in 1609 Champlain befriended the Huron Indians and helped them fight the Iroquois.
