Indigenous people in the St. Lawrence River region began to fight among themselves in the 1600s primarily due to competition over hunting grounds. The arrival of European powers, particularly the French, intensified competition for resources, leading to conflicts between different Indigenous groups as they sought to control access to valuable territories and hunting areas.
