At the time of the French and Indian war, the people of the Shawnee nation were mostly living in and around the Ohio valley - the territory surrounding Fort Duquesne. Traditionally, their hunting grounds had extended into Pennsylvania and Virginia, but they were being slowly moved from their lands by the advancing line of British colonization. Hoping to stop - or at least slow - settlement, some of the Shawnee entered the war, siding with their traditional trading partners - that is, the French. Good lord. Settling in Oklahoma. As if their story couldn't get any worse.
