France traded with Native Americans for their territory in the eastern United States.

Answer 1

Native American tribes were forced off of their land and into unsettled territory.

The map’s arrows showing groups being moved westward reflect the forced removals (e.g., under the Indian Removal Act/Trail of Tears), not voluntary migration, land sales to France, or solely military campaigns.
