Hello tribe members, I'm glad that we have taken some time today to meet up and discuss the siding of the French or English.

We are already very close to the French and we do not want our relationship with them ruined because of betrayal during the war. If we would betray them and something would go wrong on the English side we may lose our trading sources and our friendship with the French. If something bad may happen during war on the French side we would still be able to come together and solve the issue no matter how severe. Lastly something good would come out of war, we could all live together again in peace with the English and not worrying about them invading. Those are my points as to why we should join the French side during the French and Indian
