How did the Indians contribute to the war of 1812?

The War Hawks intended on invading Canada and making it part of the U.S. To help defend Canada, the British were depending upon a confederacy of Indian tribes led by Shawnee chief, Tecumseh. But before the war actually started, Tecumseh's force was destroyed by William Henry Harrison, November, 1811. This defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe, while Tecumseh was absent, doomed the Indian force from being any help to the British during the war. At the Battle of New Orleans, Andrew Jackson had the help of many Choctaw Indians to help him defeat the British.
