By fighting.

The Seminole tribe for instance fought a full out war against the American Government. But the Native Americans were not entirely alone in their fight against the Removal Act, congress debated aggressively over the controversy of the issue splitting it almost in half, but eventually it passed.

Some would fight off soldiers to flee and sacrifice themselves so other Natives from their tribe could stay. The Seminole refused to leave and started a war called the Second Seminole War. Another war caused by refusual to leave was the Black Hawk War.

They couldn't. They couldn't vote, had no political power, but they made treaties with the government and the government broke those treaties. The Native American tribes are separate governments. In the last few months a 1889 treaty was broken at Rose Bud reservation when the oil pipeline that they had been fighting rolled in with tanks and military vehicles to clear out the area.
