Answer:

The French

Step-by-step explanation:

The French usually enjoyed positive and friendly relations with the Native Americans. From the beginning, the two groups were able to establish a very successful trade partnership. The Native Americans exchanged furs for metal cooking pots, weapons, horses, and other goods that were unknown to the Natives. The French adopted many of the customs of the Native people. They learned their languages and intermarried. They also respected the way of life of the Natives and did not attempt to establish large settlements in their territory.
