what was the armed resistance
The armed resistance of Native Americans to white settlement in the West effectively ended due to a combination of military defeat, loss of resources, and shifting policies by the U.S. government. Key conflicts, such as the Indian Wars, resulted in significant casualties and the forced relocation of tribes to reservations. Additionally, the systematic approach of assimilation and the establishment of treaties, often broken by the government, further diminished Native American resistance and sovereignty. Ultimately, the combination of these factors led to the decline of armed resistance.
In 1890, hundreds of Lakota decided to stop fighting. Although they surrendered they were killed by US soldiers st Wounded Knee, South Dakota. This was the last armed resistance to US rule.

Native Americans resisted the Removal Act through various means, including legal challenges, protests, and armed resistance. Some tribes, like the Cherokee, utilized the U.S. legal system to assert their rights, notably winning the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia, although the ruling was largely ignored by the government. Others, such as the Seminole, engaged in armed conflict during the Seminole Wars to defend their lands. Additionally, many Native Americans sought to negotiate treaties, hoping to protect their territories and sovereignty in the face of encroaching settlers.
An armed rebellion is weapon wielding, organized resistance to a constituted government.
The American attitude was that Americans had the right to fill the continent. When the Native Indian Americans were a threat to the settlers moving in, the US government made treaties with groups like the Plains Indians, or strong-armed them into moving out of the areas designated for white settlers.

Nathaniel Bacon became the leader of the frontier settlers. In 1675, he organized a force of 1,000 westerners and began attacking and killing Native Americans in an armed rebellion called the Bacon's Rebellion.
That would have been the Wounded Knee Siege in 1973 where Lakota and other tribes joined with the American Indian Movement made a final stand for Native Rights. You probably were referring to the First wounded knee Massacre, but that was not an armed resistance. That was cold blooded murder of old men, women and children.
The major Native American resistance in the United States largely ended with the conclusion of several key conflicts, notably the Black Hawk War (1832), the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), and the Nez Perce War (1877). The brutal suppression of these uprisings, combined with policies of forced removal and assimilation, significantly diminished Native American sovereignty and resistance. Ultimately, the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 marked a tragic and symbolic end to armed Native American resistance against U.S. expansion. These events led to the establishment of reservations and a drastic reduction in Native American autonomy.
