Who were the mi'kmaq tribe's allies?

The Mi'kmaq tribe historically allied with several groups, most notably the French, with whom they formed strong ties during the colonial period in North America. They were part of the Wabanaki Confederacy, which included other Indigenous nations such as the Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, and Abenaki, enhancing their collective strength against colonial powers. Additionally, they sometimes formed temporary alliances with the British during conflicts such as the Seven Years' War, depending on the shifting dynamics of power and trade.
