c) Huron

The Huron tribe was a key ally of the French during the French and Indian War, significantly contributing to early French victories with their expertise in guerrilla warfare and knowledge of the terrain. The alliance with the Huron and other Native American tribes was crucial for the French, as these allies provided essential support in navigating and fighting in the dense forests and rugged landscapes of North America. The Huron’s involvement in the war reflects the complex dynamics of European and Native American relations during this period and the pivotal role Native tribes played in the colonial struggles for control of the continent.
