Final Wikipedia Entry

My final research topic will be the Battle of Mackinac Island in 1814, adding details about the “Native Americans” During this siege. Currently there is very little about what the Native Americans actually did during the siege, or who they were, not even clarification on why they fought. Rather, they have one or two shrewd lines in the post and that is it. There have been quite a few sources that pertain to Native Americans in the Great Lakes Region During the War of 1812. I plan to use a few, if not all of these sources to make the wikipedia entry more complete. I seek to give the Native Americans who fought on Mackinac Island a title, a motive, and possibly a strategy. I understand the limitations to these sources as most of the primary sources rely on British Accounts, however I will add as much detail as I can offer on this page.
