How did native Americans respond to the loss
of land from white settlement of the Great Plains?

They killed soldiers, attacked and destroyed wagon trails

"Native Americans resisted by attacking wagon trains, stagecoaches, and ranches. Occasionally an entire group would go to war against nearby settlers and troops. The first major clash on the Plains began in 1862, when the Sioux people in Minnesota launched a major uprising."

Comes straight from the book the question i asked in, on page 426

it is the dominance of   the spanish language and roman catholic region in mexico, french being the official language of several african countries, and the existence of a western-style government in south asian countries
