	Iroquois
		There were several advantages for the British: it kept the Covenant Chain tribes from falling under French influence; negotiations with Native Americans were simplified since the British only had to deal with the Iroquois; and it also allowed the British to call upon the League a "policeman" in case of trouble.
		This self-serving agreement was between two parties who could no longer control the people they represented - the British for the Americans and the Iroquois for the Ohio tribes - and condemned both to a fifty-years of war which claimed more than 30,000 lives.
		The British were aware of the American dilemma and let it be known to the alliance tribes they would support them in any conflict with the Americans.

		In the year 1780, tribes among the Delaware, Miami, Shawnee, Sauk and Fox, Creeks, and Chickasaw among numerous other tribes also joined in league with the Chickamaugan Confederacy as a means to resist the encroaching whites and the settlement of stolen Indian Land.
