Who was a leader of the Odawa Nation who organized an alliance of First Nations to oppose Britain's takeover?

• A. Treaty of Paris
• B. Deport
• C. Pontiac
• D. Assimilate

Answer: (C)

This question focuses on Indigenous leadership and alliance-building in the face of British expansion after the French and Indian War. The Odawa leader who organized a broad coalition of First Nations to resist British takeover is Pontiac. He brought together groups like the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi to push back British control in the Great Lakes region, leading to Pontiac’s War in the 1760s. This shows how Indigenous leaders sought to defend their lands and autonomy by uniting different nations against encroachment. The other options refer to a treaty or concepts of removal or assimilation, not a person who led such a resistance.
