Franco-Indian alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the alliances in India, see Franco-Indian alliances.
The Franco-Indigenous Alliance was an alliance between North American indigenous nations and the French, centered on the Great Lakes and the Illinois country during the French and Indian War (1754–1763).[1] The alliance involved French settlers on the one side, and indigenous peoples such as the Abenaki, Odawa, Menominee, Winnebago, Mississauga, Illinois, Sioux, Huron, Petun, and Potawatomi on the other.[2] It allowed the French and the natives to form a haven in the middle-Ohio valley before the open conflict between the European powers erupted.[3]
