What was the rebellion led by Ottawa Chief Pontiac against British settlers known as?

Pontiac's Rebellion refers to the conflict that began in 1763 when Ottawa Chief Pontiac led a coalition of various Native American tribes against British settlers and their encroachment on Native lands following the French and Indian War. This rebellion was fueled by dissatisfaction with British policies and actions that disregarded Native American interests, particularly their land rights and trade relationships. Pontiac and his allies besieged several British forts and were ultimately trying to push back against British expansion into the Great Lakes region.

This rebellion was significant as it highlighted growing tensions between Native Americans and European settlers, which would continue throughout American history. It prompted the British government to reconsider its approach to managing relations with Native tribes, exemplified by the Proclamation of 1763, which aimed to limit colonial expansion westward.

The other options refer to different historical events that do not relate to Pontiac or the Native American resistance against British colonialism.
