Definición

  • From the early colonial period to the end of the 19th century, Native Americans fought alongside European and later Euro-American forces against other indigenous peoples. Because of the distinctive nature of such warfare, with its emphasis on mobility and surprise, the U.S. Army came to rely greatly on the assistance of Indian scouts and auxiliaries to locate and fight hostile indigenous peoples.
