The French alliance with the Huron Indians initially strengthened their position against rival tribes and European powers, but it later backfired as it intensified hostilities with the Iroquois Confederacy, who were enemies of the Hurons. As the French relied heavily on the Huron for fur trading and military support, their eventual defeat and decimation during conflicts in the 1640s and 1650s left the French vulnerable. The collapse of the Huron society diminished French influence in the region, leading to a shift in power dynamics and increased Iroquois aggression against the French territories. Ultimately, the alliance, while beneficial in the short term, contributed to long-term instability for both the Huron and the French.

the Indians faced a war between the french and some Indians called the Huron and the algonqin
The French traded primarily for furs, especially beaver pelts, which were highly valued in Europe for making fashionable hats and garments. In exchange, they offered the Huron Indians various European goods such as metal tools, firearms, cloth, and other manufactured items. This trade relationship helped establish a mutually beneficial alliance, as the French relied on Indigenous knowledge and networks for successful fur trapping and trade. Additionally, the French provided support in conflicts with rival tribes, further solidifying their partnership.

well....... the french and Huron Indians lost
The word Huron comes from a French word meaning "having hair standing in bristles on the head'.
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.
they helped the french by joining the war and fighting against England for America.
mostly the Huron although they had other Indians help.
