Partisans qualify because nothing says the the government or civil authority has to be legitimate.

Who's Osceola? You mean Billy Powell?

Native American Indian leaders can't be lumped together. Too many different objectives (on both sides). In most of the early wars they were conflicts between sovereign nations, not insurgencies. A-si-ya-ho-la and Goyathlay, maybe, but Tecumseh, for instance, probably would not be counted as an insurgent.
