    The question is incorrectly posed. Native Americans were far from being a homogeneous, monolithic group. Pushmataha was a Choctaw, his political rival and later military adversary Tecumseh was a Shawnee and during the council in questions there were several other Native American tribes present such as the Chickasaw, the Creek, the Shawnee, etc. Therefore it would depend on which specific Native American I was. If I had been a Choctaw I would have found him more convincing because of my tribal allegiance and the fact that I made part of the Five Civilized Tribes who had always had very good relations with European Americans and had benefited from a transfer of technology, culture and other advantages from them. If I had been a Shawnee, I would have been persuaded by Tecumseh due to my tribal affiliation and because my tribe did not make part of the Five Civilized tribes and did not share technology and culture with European Americans and had usually been in conflict with them. Is not all about just persuasion, context also matters a great deal.
