So you probably entered this threat thinking you would find a TL about the American Revolution right?

Well you've come to the WRONG place.
As misleading as the title seems, don't worry. This time-line should be much more interesting.
The Shot Not Heard Around The World:
By: Paul Pierce
Disclaimer: This is my first time-line so be gentle, and actually this first post is actually only describing the POD and asking for help. The update will come soon however.
OTL: In 1609, on July 29th (Disputed by several sources to be either the 30th or the 29th but I've always enjoyed the 29th so we'll say it was then
), Samuel de Champlain (We'll call him Sammy C for short from now on) lead a mixed group of natives (mostly Hurons) for exploration purposes (this was the voyage where he discovered the Lake that is named after him), and encountered a group of Iroquois. He shot two of their three leaders himself, and this event was the start of a long history of bad French-Iroquoi relations.
POD: Now Sammy C's main reason for this exploration was, in fact, to explore!
My POD is that Sammy C drops his gunpowder, allowing for the Iroquoi leaders to escape. Now even though their meeting was negative, they no longer feel like the French are foes that do not respect warfare. After all in OTL, Sammy C asked his Huron allies who their leaders were so he could target them especially. Now this POD could possibly lead to a more successful New France.....who knows? 
If you are knowledgeable about Native Americans of the North-East please leave me anything you see wrong, or any tips you can leave. My area of knowledge is sadly only about the Hurons so i am lacking an authority on the other tribes.
Any other comments are welcome too!
