How were Spanish and French colonists similar in their relations with American Indians

The Spanish and French treatment of Native Americans was not great.

Explanation:

The Spanish colonists saw the American Indians as people who needed to be subjugated and religiously converted. Spanish friars and colonizers used brutal tactics during their colonization and after settlements were in place that killed many Native Americans. While the French colonists did not come to spread religion and were instead motivated by economic reasons, the French treatment of Native Americans was not great because they sold them guns which led to large-scale destruction among warring American Indian tribes. Overall, the Spanish and French colonists were both responsible for the deaths and eradications of thousands of individual American Indians and tribes.
