Not all tribes supported the English as some tribes in the St. Lawrence valley andLake Huron region supported the French. The fur trade was instrumental in choosing which side you supported. In the War of Independence and the 1812 conflict the Six Nations Iroquois, as much as they could, tried to stay out of conflicts. But when their lands and the safety of their nation were threatened, usually by U.S. Americans, they joined the English. When Americans tricked, threatened and thieved their ancestral homes in the Mohawk Valley, the British offered land in Ontario, then called Upper Canada. Joseph Brant settled on the Grand River with Six Nations in 1794. Chief Cornplanter and mostly Senecas remained in Upstate New York.
