That idea, like so many currently being believed, is taken from a work of fiction: "One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd" (published by St. Martin's Press in 1998) by Jim Fergus.
The story is entirely invented, with a few genuine historical figures thrown in. Don't believe a word of it.

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

The report of the interview states, the book "is based on a true event. In 1854 a group of Cheyenne chiefs requested of the white authorities one thousand white women as brides for their young warriors. The peace conference where the Cheyenne made their proposal fell apart, and the women were not actually sent to mate with the Cheyenne, but in my book they do," Fergus said.
