What role did Native Americans play in the wars and conflicts among European imperial powers?

The Native Americans played a big role in the wars and conflicts among the European imperial powers. The French had established a very friendly relationship with many Native American tribes. They married Native American women, converted the Native Americans to Christianity, traded with them, and made it clear that they weren’t after the land of the Native Americans.
When the British came to North America, they built settlements. In some instances, the British fought some of the Native American tribes they encountered when they arrived in North America. As the British expanded their settlements, more conflict ensued. The French and the Native Americans feared the British. The French believed that the British wanted to infringe on the fur trade with the Native Americans. The Native Americans feared the British because they thought the British wanted their land. These fears led to the outbreak of the French and Indian War. The result of the British victory in the French and Indian War led to the departure of France from the land they had claimed in North America. Great Britain controlled most of the land east of the Mississippi River except for New Orleans, which was controlled by Spain.
