The Native role in America’s War of Independence
The American Revolution is mostly portrayed as an epic struggle between the colonies and the British.
But Native tribes and individuals played a significant role in the historic War of Independence. It was a difficult choice for tribes, who were neither British subjects nor supporters of the encroaching colonies.
Tune into Native America Calling to get the Native perspective on America’s first war.
