American Indians in the Ohio River Valley united and joined Pontiac in fighting the British due to growing resentment toward British expansion and encroachment on their lands following the French and Indian War. The British imposed restrictive policies and failed to honor treaties, leading to a loss of trade and resources. Pontiac's leadership inspired a collective resistance to reclaim their territory and assert their rights, as tribes recognized the need for unity against a common adversary. This alliance aimed to protect their way of life and preserve their autonomy in the face of colonial expansion.

In 1763, Chief Pontiac organized several different tribes into a war party to raid the British settlements and drive them out. This was in retaliation for the result of the French and Indian War and the fact that Pontiac no longer wanted to deal with the British.

The British lost the support of the Indians of the Ohio Valley primarily due to their aggressive expansionist policies and failure to respect Native American land rights. After the French and Indian War, British settlers encroached on tribal territories, leading to increased tensions and conflicts. Additionally, the British government's indifference to Native American grievances and their alliances with rival tribes further alienated the Ohio Valley Indians, ultimately diminishing their support. This loss of trust and cooperation contributed to the eventual uprisings against British rule, such as Pontiac's Rebellion.
Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa led forces with many allies to fight the British. They united under Pontiac because of the so- called Delaware Prophet and because the leaders from the American Indian tribes did not sign a treaty with British. It is stated that they did not care about the treaty of British and France. Hope it was helpful :)
