The Indians mainly allied with the French during the colonial conflicts in North America, particularly the French and Indian War, due to shared interests in trade and mutual opposition to British expansion. The French established strong trade relationships with various tribes, respecting their autonomy and cultural practices, while the British often sought to displace Indigenous peoples from their lands. Additionally, the French were perceived as less of a threat to Native American territories compared to the British settlers, making the alliance more appealing for many tribes.

Why did Indians side with french?

I believe it is because the French treated them better generally. The reason behind this was that the French had less white settlers than the British and could not afford to lose favour with the Indians, especially the Huron tribe. The French also had greater interation with the natives as they would trade furs and one of the major French goals in North America was to convert the Indians to Roman Catholicism, not massacre them like the Spanish
