The Native Americans got involved in the French and Indian War for the following reasons:
- They felt it was the only way to protect their way of life.
- Europeans threatened violence against their families and forced them to choose a side.
- They wanted to double cross both the French and the British.
- It allowed them to reignite old conflicts with other Native American groups.
All of these options apply to different tribes and their motivations during the conflict. Native American involvement was complex and varied among different groups, influenced by their specific circumstances and relationships with European powers.
