An Alliance with the Huron Empire

An alliance is an agreement between countries. An alliance is a group of people,political parties that work together to achieve some goals.

All three nations had strategic interests to cooperate with the French. The Hurons, today commonly known as Wyandot, were associated with the French from the start of colonisation.

In turn, the Wyandot saw an opportunity to cooperate with a power that would undermine their most powerful foes -the Iroquois.
I think Champlain want to form an alliance with the Hurons because there are must have some advantages that Hurons can help French.
Champlain knew the Huron not only had better fur than the Algonkin and Iroquois, but access through trade with other tribesto areas of even higher quality,so if he can have an alliance with them he can get some helps to do many works.
