Why did the Huron and the seneca join sides with the French during the French and Indian War?

Not all of them sided with the French. The six nations of the Iroquois Confederation officially sided with the British. I think that many Indians took the French side because France generally had a better policy of coexistence with the North American natives. Unlike Great Britain, France did not move large numbers of settlers into North America. France did not attempt to remake North America in its own image. The French admired the Indians greatly, lived among them, and readily conformed to Indian ways. They treated the Indians as equals instead of inferiors. Although they were different in many respects, the French and Indians made very good allies.because the Indiana needed protection from the french colonies and the trade route

∙ 12y agoThe Iroqois sided with the British because the French under Samuel De Champlain had quickly made enemies with them in the seventeenth century. They decided to make a treaty with the British because of this.
the person who wrote this needs to explain more in their answer and spell Iroquois correctly though other than that this is a great explanation.

∙ 10y agoThe American Indian was being squeezed on many sides during the early days of european conquest.
The Huron and the Seneca would become deadly enemies in time but for all intents and purposes these tribes fought to remain trading partners with the French. It was quite a prize for tribes to
be trading partners with Europeans,in fact tribes often fought amongst themselves just for the
opportunity . tribes who lost most favored status lived to regret it. In fact the Huron and the Seneca
would fight a war for beaver pelts that would totally decimate the Huron and Erie tribes for years
to come.

Who were the enemies of the Iroquois Indians?
The Huron were the traditional enemy of the Iroquois. They were enemies for quite some time. When the Huron made allies with the French in the 1600s, the Iroquois saw this as a threat. They started doing raids, and they wiped out the Huron tribes. They were also an enemy of the French. The Beaver Wars that started in 1609 were actually the Iroquois fighting against the French and Huron over hunting grounds related to the fur trade. They also fought against the French and Algonquians during the French Indian War.
What color was Seneca tribes war paint?
according to a series of books called the 'white indian' by donald clayton porter the seneca used green and yellow. i do not know how well the book was researched. paint may have been a clan not tribal thing, or completely individual. you are kind of thinking along the lines that tribes had uniforms of some sort which i find questionable. it seems from colonial french observation that the huron were partial to black. but even then, some black and white, some black and red.
