Abstract This paper explores the varied and frequently overlooked lives of Native Americans during the American Revolution. The American Revolution was pivotal for the United States and Native American tribes, impacting both significantly. Native Americans had to grapple with choosing sides and navigating the challenges of living in a battlefield environment, risking disease and famine. They formed alliances with different groups, engaging in crucial battles and facing internal tensions within tribes. Leaders made strategic decisions to align with the British or American colonists based on their best interests. Despite diplomatic efforts, Native Americans lost land and experienced cultural disruption during and after the war, leading to a diminished political role in the new states. However, they adapted by redefining their cultures with the influence of Blacks and Europeans to preserve their identities over time. This study highlights the critical and often overlooked contributions of Native Americans during the American Revolution. It sheds light on their crucial role in key events of the revolution and its aftermath, despite their usual exclusion from historical narratives.
Keywords Native Americans, American Revolution, Colonial Alliances, Indigenous Strategies, Cultural Impact, Historical Narratives, Autonomy, Tribal Experiences.
