The Native American tribes involved in the Saratoga campaign were primarily part of the Iroquois Confederacy, particularly the Mohawk.

Numerous Iroquois tribes formed alliances with the British, viewing them as a way to safeguard their territories and interests from advancing American settlers. Their participation involved sharing intelligence and fighting alongside British troops. However, this partnership created tensions within the Iroquois Confederacy, as certain tribes opted to back the Americans. The results of the Saratoga campaign ultimately influenced the future of these tribes and their relationships with both the British and American factions.
