Which side will the Indians take and why

For many Indians, in particular, the Shawnee, Creeks and the very large and powerful Cherokee and Iroquois, the British seemed like a better bet. The British knew full well that the Indians wanted to stem the tide of settlement, and they promised the Indians that if they won, the settlers would be stopped.

I believe the answer is: National Monuments
During his presidency, Roosevelt claimed more than 800,000 acres of land as government owned land.
This allow the preservation of national monuments by preventing private sector to claim and exploit the land resources.
