The Indians disliked living on government reservations because it was not their way of living, There was a lot of hostilities during the late 1800's between the Indians and the US government, The US government wanted to keep track of the Indians and their movement, so most of the plains Indians were forced into living on Government owned land (The Reservations) One of the main reasons for the US governments suspicion against the Indians was the Ghost Dance created by the Sioux Indian Wovoka. Ghost Dances were carried out at the government reservations, and the Indians believed that the sacred Ghost Dance would bring their ancestors back to life and the plains back to how it used to be. Another reason for the Plains Indians not liking the Reservations is the fact that the Indians could not run their lives on how they wanted it to be, the Indians didn't have their traditional lifestyle, and were often forced to act more like one of the white men and some were even educated in the white man's way of life. The Indians were basically being told how to live their life's and did not have the freedom they were used to on the Plains. The Indians Nomadic way of life was also connected to their beliefs about land, they believed land was provided by the Great spirit for all living creatures to share. Therefore they believed no one should ever live permanently on one piece of land because they would be claiming it for themselves.
Would you be happy if you were dragged away from your home and forced to live somewhere you'd never been before? Reservations often had little food and water as well, and conditions were - and continue to be - harder than where they used to live.
The U.S. government refused to meet their demands...

The Native Americans preserved aspects of their own culture to resist the Europeans. For example, language, religious traditions and clothing.
The Native American were no longer able to resist the government. During the late 1880s more Indians were forced onto reservations.
Because they were brought up to believe in their customs and ways, and if that was the time of "want" and selfishness then the caucasians (not all) they were considered as people of hatred against the native american's and they would treat them as lesser people and they would do horrible things to the native americans (*remember not all the caucasians!)

In the end they were unable to resist removal.
Over time, Native Americans lost the ability to effectively resist white settlement.

Tecumseh's goal was to create a pan-tribal confederacy powerful enough to counter and resist the United States.
is this a question from ur history/english class. i have the same exact question.
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.
Before any Europeans came Native Americans already had their own belief systems and ways of life . Plus the way that the Eurpeans went about trying to assimilate them(killing, conquest, lies,torture, kidnapping..ect) was barbaric to say the least.
The Shawnee leader who advocated for Native American unity against settler expansion in the West was Tecumseh. He called for a pan-Indian alliance and aimed to create a confederacy that would stand against the encroachment of white settlers on Native lands. Tecumseh's efforts were supported by his brother, Tenskwatawa, also known as the Prophet.
