Native American resistance

Native American resistance refers to the efforts made by Indigenous peoples in North America to oppose the encroachment of European settlers and later the United States government on their lands and rights. This resistance took various forms, including armed conflict, legal battles, and cultural preservation. Notable examples include the Pueblo Revolt in 1680, the Seminole Wars, and leaders like Tecumseh and Crazy Horse. Despite facing significant challenges, Native American communities have continuously sought to protect their identity, sovereignty, and land, demonstrating resilience against centuries of colonization and assimilation efforts.
