Within a few years of initial contact with the French the Iriquois had their own gunsmiths and were producing gunpowder (which requires, among other things, the use of latrines so that potassium nitrate can be consolidated).

They then produced to whuth lots and lots and lots of people.

In the American Revolution the Oneida were American allies and saved the Revolution more than once.

Just where did you learn your American Indian history anyway? Sounds like Souvrn' Mexico or something ~ maybe Argentina?

Go back and re-read my post. I said tribes warring against the Europeans period. The Iriquois were at times allied with the French and at other times allied with the English. A significant portion of the Iriquois were Christianized. As such, the Iriquois and other nations in an alliance of one form or another with the Europeans were not the subject of my post.

In the American Revolution the Oneida were American allies and saved the Revolution more than once.

Again, I posted tribes warring against Europeans. The Oneida would not qualify in my original post.

Another person might respond by asking where you learn't to read?
