  3. First Nations’ Concerns The French defeat had disturbed almost two hundred years of alliances and a new instability threatened the interior. For years the First Nations groups had been using guerrilla tactics to keep British and American settlers out of their traditional territories. But now the British occupied all the French forts and new settlers were arriving in greater numbers. Part of the success of the French/First Nations alliance lay in the fact that the French were traders and soldiers – they inhabited the land the way the First Nations did, nomadically and seasonally. The English were settlers who were marking the land into grids, clearing and cultivating it, moving west, encroaching on the traditional hunting patterns.
