The Indians might lose in the end, but they were often a menace to civilians on the frontier and could at times defeat armed militia and troops. Contrary to being easy targets, the Indians’ stealth and skill made them formidable adversaries.

They certainly maintained a warrior elite strike force as long as they could, but outside of the groups in Indiana Territory, they were vastly depleted in strength by the time of the American Revolution.

The Old World People found it quite easy to move in and take over Indian claimed lands anytime they wished.
