IN July of 1775, the Continental Congress came up with (instead of only 2) three "superintendentencies" to keep the Natives out of the family scuffle, but this proved to fail.
IN the summer of 1776, the Americans and the British formally asked for Iriquois aide. Formally means that they had been, for a time, trying to get Native American aide informally. Only when they absolutely needed them, did it become formal. Both of the running candidates for the Iriquois to choose from, buttered them up with feast and tempting offers.
