Yes and yes.

Now do you want a source? Be a good boy and ask nice.

Ron--There were Militia and Indians on each flank of the French line. They acted mainly as sniper/harrassers against Wolfe's troops. The best source I have found about the battle is "Quebec, 1759" by C. P Stacey. Hope this helps.

Yes you could, but the Militia and Indians played a miniscule part in the Battle on the Plains of Abraham. Montcalm didn't like using Indians as part of his force. Since the French fled from the field after the British fired their "perfect volley" of two balls per musket the battle was over almost as soon as it started.
