The Western Confederacy, also known as Western Indian Confederacy, is a loose confederacy of North American Natives in the Great Lakes region following the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).
The confederacy, which has its roots in pan-tribal movements dating to the 1740s, comes together to resist the expansion of the United States into the Northwest Territory after Great Britain cedes the region to the United States after the war.
The resistance results in the Northwest Indian War (1785–1795), which ends with the U.S. victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
