What do you mean?

They were aligned with Brits against the French, and fractured over supporting America or England during the revolution.

They kind of cancelled themselves out of it. They should have taken the opportunity to secure their own lands against all the European's. They stood a chance, and would have been a refuge for other tribes making them a power house in the North East long before America got its shit together.
