About Chief Pontiac. He was a man of power and strength, a man of peace, a man whose word was his bond. He was Pontiac, Chief of the Ottawa Indian tribe, who lived from 1720 to 1769. Chief Pontiac was rugged, yet charismatic; strong, but gentle; a warrior, as well as a diplomat.
Pontiac's Rebellion (1763-1766) This Indian Uprising was in response to the French and Indian War. The natives of the Ohio Valley region wanted to kick the British out of the Ohio Valley so they could go back to trading with the French for considerable profit.
