Historical person

Pontiac

1720–1769

Pontiac was an Odawa war leader associated with the Indigenous resistance to British rule around the Great Lakes after the Seven Years’ War. His siege of Detroit became the best-known episode of a wider, decentralised conflict involving many Native nations seeking to defend territory, diplomacy and access to trade.

Hourly History’s Pontiac's War places Pontiac within the principal events and historical debates associated with this life.
