What was the cause of Samuel De Champlain built close relationships with the Huron people?

He wanted to prevent bloodshed between the two sides.

Explanation:

Prior to him, all settlers who interacted with the native did it with hostility. THis resulted in never-ending conflicts that costed both parties a lot of life and economic damage.

Champlain wanted to try a different approach. He believed that the natives were not savages like the other settlers said. He believe that the native was reasonable as any other people.

And he was right.

After making an effort to socialize with the Huron people, he managed to gained their trust. The huron built a close trading relationship with him and even ask him for assistance when they needed help fighting another tribe.
