They fought on both sides of the conflict, but most allied with the British.

Explanation:

The Native American tribes sided with both sides, mainly for benefits in trade and other advantages, though they did not share the imperial goals and feelings of their allies. In Canada, the Iroquois supported the British side, while the Huron Confederacy sided with the French, with whom they had had a good trade exchange since the 17th century. Another factors was the deep rivalry with the Iroquois.

In the American territory, most tribes chose the British side. It was because of the regular trade benefits. Native tribes had assimilated many European manufactured goods in their lifestyle, and some items had even a symbolic importance for chiefs and their policies of alliances. The British supply of such goods was more reliable than the French line of supply.
