Why did Native Americans and the British become allies?

Native Americans and the British became allies due to shared interests in trade and mutual benefits against common adversaries, particularly the French and rival tribes. The British sought to expand their territories and needed Native American support to navigate the complex landscape of tribal allegiances. In return, Native tribes aimed to secure their lands and autonomy by leveraging British military power against their enemies. This alliance was often pragmatic, shaped by the shifting dynamics of colonial expansion and indigenous resistance.
