Iroquois Indian
Why did the Iroquois Indians support the English in the french and Indian War?
I have a history paper due today and I can't find anything on the Iroquois Indians and why they supported the English during the French and Indian War!
~Thank You~
Here are some sites I came across.
As with most of the Indian tribes, they were often more interested in supporting whichever European power was opposed to their own enemies. The Indians (Native Americans) usually felt that after they used the Europeans to get rid of their indigenous enemies, they could then turn around and get rid of the Europeans.
It is amazing that this short-sightedness on the part of indigenous peoples was prevalent on every continent that the Europeans came in contact with.

Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Indian Dances and Songs Part 1
What Was the Iroquois Confederation?
One of my favorite subjects that I have really enjoyed studying and doing research on, has been about the American Indian. Once while in school, I was given an assignment to outline a particular topic and it could be in any area, so I chose to do a complete outline about the Native American Indian. This was exciting for me because it gave me an opportunity to find out about some my very own ancestors, which I have some Choctaw Indian blood flowing in my veins from on my father's side of the family.
There is one piece of information that I came across about the American Indian that I would like to share with the reader of this article. When a person thinks about the Indian people in the early days of America, what tribe would come to your mind if you were asked to name the one that was feared the most?
Well, the answer may be a surprise, I know it was for me when I learned this fact. But of all the Indian Tribes in the entire North America, there were no Indians who were more feared by those of their enemies or respected by their friends than the Tribes who belonged to the Iroquois Confederation.
What kind of warriors were they? They had the reputation as coming upon their enemy like a fox, fought like a lion, and got away like a bird.
Now, in the state of New York, there is the Mohawk River, Lakes Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida, which are the names of the five original tribes. Then, after 1700, the tribe called the Tuscaroras, who were from North Carolina, joined the Iroquois Confederation. This resulted in the Five Nations, which was their name, became the Six Nations.
It is believed that this Confederation was formed by two people whose names were, Deganawidah and Hiawatha. Also, for more than two hundred years this alliance saw much success. Deganawidah had a vision that the day would come that all Indians would be apart of this Confederation, war would no longer exist, that there would be peace throughout the whole earth. As a matter of fact, this desire for no war was written in the Iroquois constitution for a great peace to be established.
However, this dream was shattered when the Europeans came to early America. Along with England, this organization that had been formed to be used for peace, regrettably for a little while became a tool for war.
