Indigenous people were primarily upset about the transfer of control from the French to the British after the French and Indian War because they were concerned that British rule would bring harmful changes to the fur trade. The British had different policies and relationships with Native tribes compared to the French, who often engaged in more cooperative trade relationships. With British control, many Indigenous tribes feared that their access to trade, especially in furs, would be restricted and that the British would encroach on their lands and resources, leading to further displacement and conflict.
