The idea
Catholic Mohawks and Abenaki joined the French in early raids, and Potawatomis, Ottawas, Shawnees and Delawares fought with the French at Braddock's defeat.
In practice
The Treaty of Easton in seventeen fifty-eight, where Iroquois, Delaware and Shawnee shifted to Britain for land concessions.
Where people slip
The alliances were not fixed, and the shift is part of why the war turned.
