They were French fur traders who Champlain sent into native villages in order to promote trade.

After teaming up with the Huron nation for fur trading, the Algonkians and the Montagnais were concerned and turned against him. Furthermore, the natives became annoyed at the Christian missionaries who came. Later, the Algonkians, guiding an English troop, attacked Champlain's settlement in Quebec and the Algonkians.

They were a new  group interested in trading and settlement, backed by Cardinal Richelieu. They rebuilt CHamplain's settlement in Quebec. In 1660, they lost their fur trade monopoly and the company fell into bankruptcy.
