Some Indigenous Americans avoided reservations by escaping to Canada. This option allowed them to live outside the confines of U.S. government policies that aimed to relocate Native peoples to designated reservation lands. Other strategies included forming alliances, negotiating with authorities, and sometimes integrating into other communities or societies. The other options you mentioned—leaving for South Dakota, fleeing to Mississippi, or joining the U.S. Army—may not have been common or effective methods for avoiding reservations.
