You’re going to have to define what you mean by successful resistance, as well as who you’re encompassing within the category of indigenous. If national liberation qualifies as “successful resistance”, then Africa and much of Asia would probably fall under this. Of course, there’s still qualifiers there. For one, you can point to neo-colonialism and other forms of dependency and argue that national independence in and of itself is not successful resistance. And there’s probably people who wouldn’t define African and Asian populations as indigenous, which probably has some merit in certain cases - but it’s going to depend heavily on your definition of indigenous.

In the Americas and Oceania, where indigenous is much more clearly defined, you still run into the issue of “successful resistance”. For one, how long do you need to resist for it to be considered successful? Peoples like the Mapuche, the Yaqui, and the Maya held off Spanish colonialism for centuries, but in the 19th and 20th centuries they fell to conquest by newfound nations like Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. While we’re on the subject of Mexico, it’s worth bringing up the subject of the Zapatistas. The EZLN or “Zapatistas” are an anti-capitalist movement which, since 1994,has controlled a large swath of predominantly-indigenous territory in the Mexican state of Chiapas. I would argue this is probably the best modern example of indigenous resistance, but there are certainly arguments against it.

Sometimes resistance backfires. The Calusa in southern Florida were, when the Spanish arrived, a complex and centralized state with a powerful king and an expanding territory. Their hostility to Spanish intrusions caused the Spaniards to leave them alone, which served them well until the late 17th and early 18th century, when British-led slaving raids swept down into Spanish Florida and killed or carried off most of its indigenous population. The Calusa, having been isolated from the Spanish, had little to no guns or other European weapons or allies to protect them from the slavers, and within a decade or two the kingdom had fallen completely and the remaining Calusa had either been enslaved, fled to Spanish-held Cuba, or assimilated into the newly-emerging Seminole people. All of this raises the question of what exactly successful resistance looks like. For many indigenous peoples, resistance did not take the form of military confrontations but of adaptation, playing European rivals off of one another, or allying with colonial powers and using such alliances to your advantage. Colonialism was chaotic, violent, and often unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean indigenous people were helpless in the face of it. When they found they could not beat the system they learned to work within it to ensure their survival.
