old answer: Spanish were mean to indians improved answer: A leading figure in France in the 1600's was Samuel de Champlain. He made friends with a nearby Huron Indian tribe. He granted their request to fight alongside them in a battle with their enemies, the Iroquois. The French recruited Indians to help with the fur business, which was actually a hardship for the Indians who were subjected to the colonist's diseases and asked to do things that were against their religious beliefs. But nevertheless, the French and these Indians remained partners. When the Spanish came to the Americas, they too interacted with the Indians. One of the biggest effects of the Spanish-Indian interaction was the introduction of the horse to the Indian people. This was one of the only positive impacts of the interaction of the Spanish and the Indians. The term the "Black Legend" was created after the Spanish invaders killed, enslaved, and infected natives with disease. This was a more accurate description of the relations between the Indians and Spanish. British relations to the Indians can be summed up with the Anglo-Powhatan Wars, when the Indians were brutally defeated.
