The Europeans bribed the Native Americans and also sabotaged them and made them fight against each other.

That's about the dumbest and laziest answer I've ever seen for a question such as was asked. Native American tribes joined europeans in wars against other natives because long before the europeans arrived, native Americans were warring against each other, to varying degrees of success. Once the europeans arrived some tribes aligned themselves with them because they were rewarded for their loyalty with assurances that their longstanding fueds with other tribes would be met with the full force of their European allies. Sure, europeans re-introduced horses and brought gunpowder with them to the new world, but war they did not.

The many native American tribes had through the ages regularly warred with each other and were always in a situation where they were friendly with some neighbors and not so friendly with other neighboring tribes. Before finally realizing that the colonists were out to subject them all, they thought of the well-armed colonists as sometimes useful allies in settling power struggles of their own.
