Yes, settlers leaving settlements to go join Native American tribes was such a large problem that both the British and French issued a decree to make that illegal.
There is evidence throughout “early-mid colonial history” (1700-late 1800’s) of people from a multitude of backgrounds joining Native American tribes.

Also people don’t really join Native American tribes to fight for them, it’s for other reasons that culminate in a person simply defending their new home. Much like an immigrant joining their new home country’s military.
