These Aboriginal allies were often accompanied by officials from the Indian Department who spoke Aboriginal languages and who could help First Nations war chiefs and British military commanders speak to each other. Thousands of First Nations warriors and Métis fighters fought beside British troops and Canadian settler militias during the war. During the War of 1812, First Nations warriors and Métis fighters played important roles in the defence of these British territories against invading American forces. Before Canada became a country, Britain's military alliances with First Nations were a key part of the defensive network of British North America. Throughout Canada's history, Aboriginal peoples have helped shape this land into the country we know today.
