Exploring Sir William Johnson with

Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet (c. 1715 - 11 July 1774), was a British Army officer and colonial administrator from Ireland. As a young man, Johnson moved to the Province of New York to manage an estate purchased by his uncle, Royal Navy officer Peter Warren, which was located in territory of the Mohawk, one of the Six Nations of the Iroquois League, or Haudenosaunee.
Johnson learned the Mohawk language and Iroquois customs, and was appointed the British agent to the Iroquois. Because of his success, he was appointed in 1756 as British Superintendent of Indian Affairs for all the northern colonies.
Throughout his career as a British official among the Iroquois, Johnson combined personal business with official diplomacy, acquiring tens of thousands of acres of Native land and becoming very wealthy.

William Johnson thought he was going to be a partner in his uncle's North American enterprise. He eventually found out his uncle only regarded him as an employee. Johnson's success was due to his development of positive relationships with the Native Americans. Normally, the French treated Native Americans much better than the British. Johnson was one of the few British men who treated the Native Americans with honesty and respect.

Sir, I think you should check the native American tribes that Sir William Johnson worked with,
