Answer 1

Option 1.

Colonial policies — land seizure, forced labor/tribute, suppression of religion, and violence — frequently provoked Indigenous resistance. Notable examples include the Pueblo Revolt (1680), led by Popé against Spanish missionary rule, and Iroquois nations siding with the British and fighting American forces during the Revolutionary War. Many other uprisings (e.g., King Philip’s War, Pontiac’s Rebellion, later Northwest Indian resistance) show that Indigenous peoples repeatedly and actively resisted European/American encroachment.
