The goal here is, with a POD no earlier than the 1640s (mid 17th century, essentially), to have more independent nations founded the natives exist in the world. We had a few in Asia, some in the Middle East and one in Africa OTL, so the focus here is the Americas, but it should be more than possible to squeeze more into the 'colonized areas' than there were IRL. Having natives that were previously colonized gain their independence is viable here, so long as they don't get re-colonized by someone else later down the line.

Personally, I think the best bet in the Americas would be the Mapuche although I suppose you could have the Maya, Inca or even Aztecs (however few of them there may have been left at this point) launch a more successful rebellion than they did OTL while maintaining plausibility.
