Siege of Fort Detroit

Ojibway Soldiers did not like siege warfare. Even if they resorted to hiding behind walls themselves. This military siege occurred during May of 1763 during Pontiac's War. Ojibway plans for capturing Fort Detroit were given to English in Fort Detroit by a willing Indian spy, who was very fortunate she wasn't executed for her deliberate betrayal of her own race, after Ojibway Soldiers apprehended her. Ojibway ogimak (leaders) used great control to not execute that Indian spy, who most certainly would have been executed or forced to endure worse, by any other people. For over a year, Anishinabek and their allies, held Fort Detroit in a siege, then during August of 1764, they agreed to lift their siege. Their reason for ending their siege against Fort Detroit, was what happened at Waganakize and other Ojibway villages. They were in grief and shock at what them white criminals did. A great many of that Indian spy's family members were killed by them English and their criminal activity.
