In the mid-1800s, how did American Indians often react to the US government signing treaties with tribal chiefs to establish reservations?

Many American Indians did not view treaties signed by tribal chiefs as binding or legitimate, especially when they were made under pressure or without the consent of the whole community. As a result, many resisted being forced from their lands and relocating to reservations; the Dawes Act came later, so choice A does not fit the period.
