french trade for most of the history of new france was mostly limited to fishing and trapping. for trapping you needed the assistance of native guides who knew the waters and land, and beaver robes worn/used by natives were actually more prized in europe than fresh pelts. even as the french-canadian population expanded into agriculture, the predominance of the seigneurial system kind of limited its expansion anywhere beyond the established white settlements along the saint-laurent. and by the final years of french administration it's a bit of a stretch to say they had any better relations toward natives than the english eventually would
