Will add details as time goes on.


For the case of the British, they just finish fighting the Natives Americans led by Pontiac two years ago. Currently a uneasy peace is being maintain in the colonial frontier...


Summary: The Six Nations of the Iroquois (Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, Tuscarora) are formally bound together within the Iroquois Confederacy. Most of the confederacy (the Mohawk, the Cayuga, the Seneca, and the Onondaga) largely supported the British crown as colonists from New York and Pennsylvania continually threatened their lands. The central fireplace of the confederacy was re-established at Buffalo Creek, and the re-formed confederacy began to navigate this chaotic new space.

Native Tribes of the Southwest


Overall Summary: Unlike their counterparts to the north,the tribes have stronger centralizing tendencies, more widespread adoption of Christianity, literacy, the adoption of plantation slavery, and even some intermarriage with whites. Though this leads the Americans to often label these tribes as 'civilized,' they still retain a deep desire for independence and look askance at claims by white colonies on their lands.
