Fox Indian Massacre

Start of the Fox Wars against French

The Fox Indian Massacre marked the beginning of the Fox Wars which pitted the Meskwaki against New France and their indigenous allies. Several factors drove the massacre, including a potential Meskwaki alliance with the British, the opposition of neighboring indigenous peoples, such as the Illinois and Odawa, who sought to prevent Meskwaki empowerment, and French desire to avoid friction with their allies.
