Without a doubt, the Wild Mane Tribe chose to submit.
It wasn't because they were weak, but when the knife is at your throat, nobody wants to choose death.
There were native tribes who truly dared to resist and fight, and even the people of the Wild Mane Tribe, when they arrived, were confidently discussing how to reason with Perfikot, even if they chose to submit, they wanted to negotiate favorable terms.
They even prepared to fight to the death, if the white people did not give them a way to live, they would fight Perfikot.
However, when they actually stood before Perfikot, facing the oppressive Steam Knights, all their previous bravado became just empty words.
Even the chieftain who once fought grizzly bears bare-handed had none of his former courage in front of Perfikot and could only choose humble submission.
Still, whatever the case, this was ultimately a good result.
