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.
