The treaties Indians made with USA

Fort Sanwix, 1784 and Hopewell in 1785
The Indians would exchange land and properties for peace, what a big prize they had to pay for something that should have no cost. After the war, a lot of Americans decided to live in Tennesse and Kentucky (about 10,000). and that is the reason why Indians allied with British.

When it comes to women during the war, there were a very few political and legal rights towards them, not much to admit. For example, when it came to voting, only widows could do it, and women were not allowed to own properties of any type. They were very limited to all, mostly the freedom of making their choices by theirselves. They were called Republican Mothers, and a good example of a woman in this period would be Abigail Adams, John Adams wife.

Abigail wrote to her husband asking him to NOT forget about to women to protect him, but of course, he ignored her.
Women before were very limited to all, voting, owning properties, freedom, making decisions, and lots of more things. 
The Indians had to suffer a lot when it comes to the treaty between them and the Americans, it is quite similar to some cases around the world where bad people like thieves or villains ask you to give something in exchange of peace. You should feel relief or safety, but it is not for free, and in some cases, people decide NOT to play their game, and often get killed or in another tragic way. Anyway, Indians did have courage, and were very persuasive. It is their patience and strength what made them go really far.
