Native Americans resisted the Indian Removal Act through various means, including legal challenges, peaceful protests, and armed resistance. Notably, the Cherokee Nation took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which affirmed their sovereignty, although the ruling was largely ignored by the government. Other tribes, like the Seminoles in Florida, engaged in armed conflict, leading to the Seminole Wars. Additionally, many Native Americans sought to adapt and negotiate with the U.S. government to protect their lands and way of life.
The Indian groups decided to resist their removal by using force and fighting back. They started a few wars.

Pontiac's Rebellion was primarily driven by Native Americans' frustration with British policies following the French and Indian War. After the war, British settlers encroached on Native lands, and the British government failed to honor existing treaties and protect Native American territories. This disregard for their rights and sovereignty prompted various tribes, led by Chief Pontiac, to unite and resist British expansion in the Great Lakes region.
Fighting between Native Americans and white settlers began almost immediately after the French and Indian War ended in 1763. The war's conclusion led to increased westward expansion by settlers, which encroached on Native American lands. Tensions escalated into conflicts such as Pontiac's Rebellion in 1763, where various tribes united to resist British encroachment. This period marked the beginning of a series of violent confrontations as settlers continued to push into indigenous territories.
Pontiac, who led the rebellion against the British in 1763, was the chief of the Ottawa people. His uprising, known as Pontiac's Rebellion, was a response to British encroachments on Native American lands and aimed to resist colonial expansion in the Great Lakes region.
