This relationship is shaped by the views of the French on the role the colony plays. For the French, as referenced in the lecture and the text, New France is a place of natural resources, and the Native population is there to trade with for those resources. Fur was the greatest of the resources, specifically beaver. The fur trappers and traders befriended the peoples, including intermarriage.
