When compared to all other groups, Native Americans were the largest contributors per capita to the armed forces with over 10 percent of the population and a third of the able bodied men between ages 18 and 50 serving during this war. Some tribes had as much as 70 percent participation in the war effort.

Hope this helps you out have a great day :)
