Leading up to the war many Native American tribes (American Indians) had been having their territories sold without permission or under permission granted under extreme duress, to settlers from the United States. This unjust to the Natives, who not individually but as a tribe had greater claim the land. It also in many cases broke historical treaties as much of the land had been promised to specific tribes for their help fighting against the British in the Revolutionary War.
American settlers were pushing the natives out of their homes often with force and blood. Natives that chose to fight back found an ally in the British as they were seen as less of a threat to their culture, way of life, and right to the land that they had been living on for over 400 generations.
