Final answer:

The Battle of Adobe Walls was not a disaster or defeat for the buffalo hunters; they successfully defended themselves against a larger Native American force.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Adobe Walls was an engagement between Native American forces and buffalo hunters which occurred in 1874. Contrary to the claim in the question posed, it was not a disaster for the buffalo hunters. In fact, despite being outnumbered, the hunters were able to fend off the attack due to their superior weapons, such as the newly introduced .50 caliber Sharps Rifle, and the battle is often considered a defeat for the Native Americans involved.

Regarding the similar statements for reference, the majority of natives killed during the exploration period by Europeans statement (True), support for the British by most Indian tribes due to fear of American land expansion (True), and William Henry Harrison's victory being for the Democratic Party (False), they all represent significant historical facts and narratives. Recruiting native allies was indeed crucial for the Spanish during the Aztec conquest (True). Not all tribes in the Iroquois Confederacy remained neutral during the Revolutionary War (False). The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo did result in Mexico losing a large portion of its territory (True), and the Proclamation of 1763 was enacted partly due to Pontiac's War (True). Lastly, the statement about both Americans and British giving up claims to the Mississippi for peace is false.
