Like the Indians, the French were mostly nomadic hunters, trappers, and traders and only sparsely colonized Indian lands with farms and cities. The French bestowed various gifts on tribal leaders to ensure their friendship, and followed their customs when they could.

Did the french befriend the Indians in Canada?

Yes. They did. Many were trappers and lived with the Native Americans, but there were those who also attacked and killed villages as well as take women as hostages or sex slaves. The Europeans view of Native Americans was one of discrimination and that they were a hindrance to their settlement of land. The French did get along better with the Northeastern tribes than the English, but there were still the same elements present in the relationships between the groups.

How did the French get along with the Native Americans?

Generally speaking French Trappers operated along the Mississippi and the forest areas of North America (now mostly in Canada).

Many of these trappers became married to Native American women, and were accepted into their tribes. SOURCE: Diaries and trading records of the Hudson Bay Company.
