Indeed. The Oneida sided with the colonists against the British, breaking the 6 Nation Confederacy. Remembering to that some Apache joined the US Army as scouts to track down other Apache.
And interesting point about the Crow & Lakota today. Makes me think of my uncle (by marriage) who was a full-blood Blackfoot. I don't think he cared for any of them
