Since you're referring to Europeans (French) and people (First Nations) native to the lands in the western hemisphere, attitudes about property ownership were probably about the same as in the past (and current?) US. Below are generalizations based on decades of reading on my part, but you may get some ideas for research from them. Remember to use scholar.google.com instead of regular google.com for this kind of scholarly research.
Europeans already held the concept of land ownership. For one thing, kings and nobles used land as rewards for above-and-beyond (so to speak) among their knights/soldiers/et al.
Native people in the western hemisphere didn't have the same beliefs in private land ownership. I've noticed in reading about people in different parts of these continents that the early people lived more communally.
Try researching based on those general ideas and see if you find better wording for the ideas.
How did the French and the First Nations view land ownership differently?
I need help with this. My lesson doesn't say much about it, apparently.

Thank you. (Also, I meant to put Europeans instead of French, but I slipped up, sorry...)
Based on what I have found, I am now able to answer.
So basically, the Europeans thought it was okay to take the First Nations' land without discussing their view of land ownership to them. And the First Nations thought owning parts of land was strange, and they believed land should be shared with all. (The latter part was found in my textbook)

Yes, your explanation is right.
Awesome, thank you for checking.
You’re welcome!
