The Mi'kmaq and Haudenosaunee had different responses to contact with the French. The Mi'kmaq generally welcomed the French, as the alliance provided them with trade opportunities and military support against rival tribes and colonial powers. In contrast, the Haudenosaunee were more ambivalent and often resisted French influence, particularly due to their existing alliances with the British and competition for control over trade and territory. Overall, while the Mi'kmaq embraced the French, the Haudenosaunee were more cautious and strategic in their interactions.
