In 1877 Chief Joseph and his tribe were oredered to move to a reservation. Four of Chief Joseph's braves killed 16 white settlers and when the army began to take their possesions as retaliation, the Nez Perce refused to move to the reservation due to this contract breach. The only real choice they had was to try to get to Canada and enlist the aid of Chief Sitting Bull. After 1300 miles, 4 battles, and a brilliant display of bravery in which Toohoolhoolzote's(not a joke) 25 men pinned down Howard's 500, the Nez Perce were captured and defeated at Bear Paw Mountain. When surrendering Chief Joseph coined a famous quote "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more."

How did Americans Indians resist attempts to assimilate them into white culture?

They didn’t need to resist. The white culture didn’t want them. They wanted them dead or on reservations starving. Native American children were removed to government schools. These schools didn’t allow them to practice their traditions, native languages, and made them wear clothing that wasn’t traditional. These children stayed at the schools until they were 21, but when they went home they weren’t accepted by their tribes and white cultures didn’t acccept them. Many killed them selves.
