These conflicts can be seen as a form of Indigenous revolutions because of the involvement of Native Americans and being forced to choose a side. At the same time, they maintained the idea of siding with the country that usually tends to protect their land. This can be seen as an Indigenous revolution since they fought against people who had the idea of taking away their land and being owned by the United States. In most of these wars, they had the idea of maintaining their land.

The concept of liberty can be brought up since all these wars were fought together until the end of the conflicts where it was seen to have an impact on the land that they had assumed would be maintained under their power after British and American conflicts ended but this was not true. The perspective on these conflicts ultimately can be seen to have an impact on how Native Americans are perceived by those who do not consider their history and relationships with other countries.

As mentioned in “Oneida Declaration of Neutrality, 1775,” Native Americans did not want to become involved in situations involving white settlers to avoid creating enemies among them and maintain friendships already established. The methods Native Americans used to resolve issues were peaceful.

The idea is that once conflicts between nations involve ownership rights over land, it eventually affects their territory and land due to involvement from others seeking control over it which could result in loss for Native Americans without access or possession of weapons meaning force must be used leading to necessary involvement from Natives trying desperately to retain control over their territories.
