Detailed explanation-1: -The Native American people from the Algonquin, Lenape, Wyandot, Ojibwa, Ottawa, Shawnee, and the Mi’kmaq sided with the French. The British were supported by the Iroquois Confederacy.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, some Indian tribes allied with the British, including the Iroquois Confederacy (made up of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora people) along with some other tribes. Though the war seesawed back and forth, the British were ultimately victorious and defeated the French.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Iroquois Confederacy sided with the British during the French and Indian War. The Iroquois Confederacy claimed that it owned the lands that made up the Ohio Country.
