Explanation:
The French were keen on exploiting the country through the fur trade and, subsequently, the lumber trade. Despite having tools and rifles, the French immigrants in this portion of North America were reliant on Indigenous people to live in the harsh climate. Indigenous people benefitted from the fur trade as well.
In the early 1600s, French traders founded towns along the St. Lawrence River in Québec and Montreal. French Jesuits also came to the area to convert the natives to Catholicism. New France, on the other hand, was largely concerned with the fur trade.
