Tecumseh and the Shawnee also led a resistance movement against American expansion and encroachment on Native - American lands. They both sought to unite Native - American tribes to defend their territories and way of life. John Ross and the Cherokee were more involved in legal and political efforts to maintain their land rights. Massasoit and the Wampanoag had earlier interactions with the Pilgrims. Levi Colbert and the Chickasaw had different historical contexts and struggles not as directly comparable to Pontiac's Rebellion.
