Pontiac's Council
Following the French and Indian War and uprising against the English ensued that is attributed to efforts led by Chief Pontiac, an Ottawa leader. The uprising came to be called Pontiac's Rebellion, though Pontiac's role had been more related to his early leadership in key battles than his overall leadership which is much in dispute. The rebellion ran from 1763–1766.
The uprising came largely as a result of the resentment among Indians of the area that "their" land had been ceded to the British by the French in the treaty that ended the War.
