My family lineage can be traced back to Joseph Brant! Although he died in 1807 he was a notable soldier during the American revolution

To be fair, in the end it was the Treaty of Ghent which saved Canada, as the United States controlled more than a third of Upper Canada after the Battle of Thames. But yes, the indigenous played a vital role.
