Detailed explanation-1: -Native people cited multiple reasons for volunteering for military service, including a powerful commitment to protect their country-both the United States and their ancestral homelands-from enemy invaders. Native servicemen fought in many of the war’s pivotal military campaigns.
Detailed explanation-2: -At that time, millions of indigenous people had settled across North America in hundreds of different tribes. But between 1622 and the late 19th century, a series of wars and skirmishes known as the Indian Wars took place between American-Indians and European settlers, mainly over land control.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some wanted to support the British, who promised to protect tribal land if the Native Americans stood with them. And some nations wanted to support the Revolutionaries, viewing the colonists as their neighbors and the British as invaders.
Detailed explanation-4: -If they did not serve directly on the front lines, they served in other ways as well – 65, 000 Native Americans left their homes to work in factories to support the war industry. Many more purchased war bonds and donated to charities that supported service members.
