"It has of late been generally believed, that the Inhabitants of the Province of New York are so
advantageously situated, with Respect to the Indian Trade, and enjoy so many Advantages as
to Trade in general, that it is in their Power not only to rival the French in Canada,... but that it
is impossible for the French to carry on [the fur] Trade in Competition with the People of this
Province. The enquiring into the Truth of this Proposition, may not only be of some
Consequence, as to the Riches and Honour of the British Nation,... but likewise as to the
Safety of all the British Colonies in North America. ... The French plainly show their Intention of
enclosing the British Settlements, and cutting us off from all Commerce with the numerous
Nations of Indians....
*... The Art and Industry of the French, especially that of their religious Missions, has so far
prevailed upon all the Indians in North-America, that they are everywhere directed by French
Counsels [guidance]. Even our own Five Nations [allies], (the Iroquois [Confederacy]) who
formerly were mortal Enemies of the French... have, of late, (by the Practices of the French
Priests) been so far gained, that several of the Mohawks [Iroquois Confederacy members]...
have left their Habitations, and are gone to settle near Montreal in Canada."
Cadwallader Colden, British imperial official, A Memorial Concerning the Fur Trade of the
Province of New York, prepared for the royal governor of New York in 1724

A historical situation in which the excerpt could have been produced was before the French and Indian War.

One cause of the development in the excerpt is that the French focused on trade rather than settlement like the British.

One argument made in the excerpt is that the French are better at making allies with the Native Americans than the British.

What does the excerpt on French and Native Indian relationship show?

In the given except, Cadwallader Colden speaks of how the French were trying to use their extensive influence amongst the Native Americans to shut down trade between the British and Native Americans.

This was therefore a time before the French and Indian War when the French still had dominion over areas in North Africa.

The reason the French held more sway over the Native Americans was because they tended to focus more on trade than settlements which meant that Native Americans were not worried much about losing their lands to the French as they were to the British.
