How the French and Indian War was related to the Battle of Lexington and Concord?

The French and Indian War was a global war between France and England. In the American Colonies, the war was conducted with the French and their Indian allies on one side and the British and their American and Indian allies on the other. This was took place before the Revolutionary War and American colonists fought beside the British, not against them. In fact, George Washington had his first combat experience during this war. After the French and Indian War which was won by Britain, the American colonists became disenchanted with the British who they saw as not treatuing them as real Englishmnen despite their help for the British against the French. This perception on ingratitude, added to other complaints such as taxing the Colonies without any representation in Parliament, led to the American Revolution. Lexington and Concord were among the first real engagements of the Revolution.

What idnian tribe dislikes the french?

I assume you are referring to Indian tribes that fought against the French in the Seven Years War/French and Indian War. The answer to that is the Iroquois, though they didn't so much dislike them as they were offered to be free from landgrabs by the British. Other than that, the French generally got on much better with Indian tribes in North America than any of the other great powers and gave the tribes no reason to dislike them overmuch.

Why did the Iroquois ally themselves with Britain?

In the Revolutionary War Period of America's history, the Iroquois generally favored alliances with Great Britain rather than the American colonists for one fundamental reason: the British were less of a threat than the colonists were, which is to say that they had more to gain from helping the British than helping the nascent "Americans." The British cannily garnered Iroquois support by also supplying them with arms and other helpful resources.

The many native American tribes had through the ages regularly warred with each other and were always in a situation where they were friendly with some neighbors and not so friendly with other neighboring tribes.
