Native Resistance

Native American tribes resisted colonization by adapting and fighting. Some formed alliances and traded, while others battled to protect land. Conflicts like King Philip’s War and Powhatan resistance showed fierce defense. Despite being forced to move and facing hardships, tribes fought to preserve their culture. Their resilience still influences American history today.

This passage builds comprehension by teaching about adaptation and resistance. Vocabulary like “confederacy” and “resilience” expands student language.
