Detailed explanation-1: -These groups of American Indians believed that if the Revolutionaries were victorious, they would allow them to maintain control over their homelands. Many American Indian nations fought in the Revolutionary War, three of which Don Troiani features in his paintings: the Oneida, Mohawk, and Stockbridge-Mohican.
Detailed explanation-2: -The various wars resulted from a wide variety of factors, the most common being the desire of settlers and governments for Indian tribes’ lands. The European powers and their colonies also enlisted allied Indian tribes to help them conduct warfare against each other’s colonial settlements.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the time the war broke out, the young American nation had been aggressively expanding westward, putting Indigenous peoples and their ancestral homelands under relentless attack. Seeking military allies to help protect their territory, most Native Americans chose to fight on the side of the British.
Detailed explanation-4: -By the 1880s these newcomers had hunted the bison almost to extinction. Once these tribes lost their main source of food, the U.S. government forced many of them to move to reservations, which are lands reserved for Native Americans.
