Nah srs shower thought, Reserves are literally a bunch of disenfranchised people living on top of each other with nothing to look forward to in life, not a single group of +3 people ever decided to use the threat of violence to reach political goals?

Wounded Knee Occupation
Although I support what they were doing and don’t consider it terrorism, OP has clearly never heard of AIM. They took over Alcatraz ffs.
I mean didn't they wage guerrilla warfare for a couple of centuries? After a protracted genocide it became decisively one sided at some point and there is no real reason to resist at this point.

I don't think potential terrorists are that rational. There's plenty of terrorist groups that are realistically never actually gonna 'win'
Not terrorism, but I am reminded of the Oka Crisis in Canada not that long ago. Not really relevant, but Oka cheese is delicious as well. The cheese did not cause this crisis.
It honestly just tastes like blander Camembert to me
Also, love how cheese didn't but golf did
I'd fight a war for good cheese tbh
I've probably fought a war against a healthy cholesterol level in my body for cheese before, but yeah I know what you mean. Where I am right now we. aint. got. shit. Best you can hope for is good cheddar or extremely overpriced famous imports. The US has dogshit cheese culture, even in WI and NY there isn't that much variety but I guess it's getting better.
They know what happens.
AIM is probably the closest thing in modern US history
And wasn't it infested with feds by day 1? Or at least, the feds found ways to trump up charges against the members and suspiciously kill a few activists
And they framed the leader of the movement, Leonard Peltier, by saying he personally shot two feds while it's pretty dubious that he did. Still in prison 45 years later.
feds has that LARP locked down way way earlier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved_Order_of_Red_Men
The Mohawk tribe has staged violent protests (throwing large rocks over the NY thruway overpasses, etc), but I guess that was before everyone was yelling terrorism at everything.
from what I observed in my own native community, there’s a lot of petty drama and infighting. it’s hard to organize, natives have a constant city native vs rez native battle going on that keeps the focus on “who is more native” and not on “we’re actively decolonizing”. that being said, AIM is classified as a terrorist organization, which is ridiculous lol. can you even start a group with only 3 people?
Too drunk
There were rail blockades in Canada like last year.
Not terrorism anymore than the truckers were
True but still the biggest native protest I’ve heard of in recent times.
Because they’d slaughter the rest of us “Nobel savages” in a heartbeat
The pilgrims were the original terrorists to them
They got it all out of their system in the a few hundred years ago. They should bring it back. I think it'd do us some good if now and then a few hipsters on a road trip to Bozeman in a newly-restored Jeep Wagoneer stopped at a viewpoint and heard the distant thunder of hooves as some fellas with warpaint rode in and took their scalps.

This is kind of a dumb question but to interact with it earnestly, I think that their religion wasn't as coherent enough to galvanize an insurgent force like those of other occupied people (like ISIS or the IRA).
this is an often overlooked aspect of it. basically every single tribe has different beliefs, there’s regional similarities, but they’re all different. my tribes beliefs are completely different from the nearest different tribe, and we’ve always been near each other.
The Sun of All Fears had a native terrorist worki by with muslims, interestingly enough.
they’re starting to pop up in canada

good
I mean Dakota War
I think it fluctuates. You had AIM in the 70s - it wouldn’t surprise me if something similar starts to pop off with the pipeline projects in recent years.
American Indian Movement. Leonard Peltier, Russell Means and John Trudell.
Also look back a hundred years to the Comanche Wars
Leonard Peltier is still alive and in prison, almost 45 years later.
For one thing a lot of native terrorism probably takes the form of ecological terrorism - of which there is more than we hear about, because the government likes to keep that kind under wraps and it’s generally not very large scale or violent. That said, I am still surprised we don’t see or hear about more of either.
America already owns their land and resources so they don’t need to make up “Native American terrorists” to go in to invade and steal their things
