The image on the right depicts three Indigenous warriors who fought in the War of 1812. There is a British flag behind them. Why might they have been shown in this way?

The British flag behind the warriors suggests this alliance, so the best answer is “They fought with the British against the United States.” Britain and the United States were opponents in the war, not allies.
