There was never any overall native American leader. Resistance was simply conducted by individual tribes or small groups of tribes.

Before the arrival of Europeans, native American tribes were mainly warrior societies which considered other tribes to be enemies. Without constant inter-tribal warfare, the warriors would have been made to feel useless and without any purpose, so the system was geared to create rivalry and friction between groups.

This distrust and warlike structure continued after the Europeans arrived, meaning that it was impossible for all native tribes to combine into a single anti-white coalition to oppose white settlers.

Even if this had happened, tribal leadership was extremely complex, with various grades of chief and only very rarely a chief holding the power of a dictator. It would have been worse than impossible in such circumstances for one man to become "the" leader of the native Americans.
