I am having a bit of trouble answering this question.... DO you mind giving a brief explanation of what it means and, if possible, some hints on possible answers?
In what ways did the indigenous societies and the revolution in Haiti overcome or challenge colonial rule?
Indigenous societies are those people who lived in an area before colonists arrived. The question asks how various indigenous societies fought against European colonial rule.
This article details the Haitian revolution.

You'll need to research other revolts against colonial rule -- such as the movements for freedom in India and South Africa.
