Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unfortunately, the outcome of the War of 1812 was not positive for Indigenous peoples. After Tecumseh was killed at the Battle of the Thames in 1813, the Indigenous Confederacy largely disintegrated. Britain ultimately abandoned its support of a “buffer state” to protect title to lands threatened by American expansion.

Detailed explanation-2: -First Nations and Métis communities sided with the British during the war because they shared a common goal: to resist American expansion. More than 10, 000 First Nations warriors from the great lakes region and the St. Lawrence Valley participated in nearly every major battle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tecumseh, Shawnee War Chief (1768-1813) Following an American attack on his supporters at Tippecanoe in 1811, Tecumseh joined the British against the Americans in the War of 1812. Tecumseh and the 2, 000 warriors under his command fought throughout the Western campaign of the war.
