    I’m having trouble thinking of a time when the natives were able to help themselves against colonizers.

    Well, there’s Ethiopia, and uh… it’s a pretty short list.

    (I’d also give an honorable mention to Haiti, although the oppressed people in that case were imported African slaves, not natives. By the time of the Haitian Revolution, the indigenous Taíno had long since been pretty much wiped out.)
