Abstract	One of a series of pamphlets about the American Revolution in Georgia, this document examines the relationship between Indians and Colonials in pre-revolutionary times. It can be used as supplementary reading or a two-week unit for junior or senior high school students. A brief teacher's guide is included. The main part of the document relates the political and military interactions between Loyalists, Patriots, and Indian tribes. In 1773, a land cession called the "New Purchase" was negotiated between the British governor of Georgia, white traders, and the Creek and Cherokee tribes. This illustrated white encroachment on Indian land. Efforts of specific American Indian commissioners prevented the Indians from waging war on the Colonials. Also, factionalism within and among tribes kept the Indians from joining in a combined resistance to white settlers. During the war years, Indians generally sided with British forces and suffered losses to Patriot armies. The roles of specific white and Indian leaders in these struggles are discussed. The teacher's guide presents learning and skill objectives, activities, and discussion questions based on the content of the text. (AV)
