The influential Native American leader who urged his people to remain neutral during the American Revolution was Captain Pipe (also known as Kageshquanohel). He was a leader of the Delaware (Lenape) people and advocated for neutrality to avoid being drawn into the conflict between the British and the American colonists

. More broadly, many Native American groups, including the Iroquois Confederacy, initially tried to stay neutral, viewing the conflict as a "family quarrel" between the colonies and Great Britain. The Continental Congress even encouraged Native Americans to remain neutral to avoid involvement in the war. However, neutrality was difficult to maintain as both the British and American sides pressured Native nations to take sides

. Thus, while several Native leaders and groups sought neutrality, Captain Pipe stands out as a notable figure who urged his people specifically to remain neutral during the American Revolution.
