Answer 2

Native Americans were important because the French and British both had American Indian allies. In my opinion, I think that the British had the best advantage, even though the French allied with several Native American tribes including the Shawnee, Lenape, Ojibwa, Ottawa, and the Algonquin peoples. The British allied with the Iroquois, Catawba, and the Cherokee, which were some of the strongest Native American tribes
