The effects of Pontiac's War will be long-lasting.

Because the Royal Proclamation of 1763 officially recognizes that indigenous people have certain rights to the lands they occupied, it has been called the natives' "Bill of Rights", and still informs the relationship between the Canadian government and First Nations.

For British colonists and land speculators, however, the Proclamation seems to deny them the fruits of victory—western lands—that had been won in the war with France.

The resentment which this creates undermines colonial attachment to the Empire, contributing to the coming of the American Revolution.

For natives, Pontiac's War demonstrates the possibilities of pan-tribal cooperation in resisting Anglo-American colonial expansion.

Although the conflict had divided tribes and villages, the war had also seen the first extensive multi-tribal resistance to European colonization in North America, and is the first war between Europeans and natives that does not end in complete defeat for the natives.
