Abstract
This article deals with the contribution of Ulad Sidi Shaykh to the popular movements of resistance against the French occupation in Algeria from 1845 to 1908. The research is motivated by an attempt to understand the position of the leaders of Ulad Sidi Shaykh vis-à-vis the French colonial administration and their role in the movement of resistance against the French occupation. The research paper concludes that, some leaders of Ulad Sidi Shaykh collaborated with the French colonial administration by accepting administrative posts as bach-agha. In contrast, others rejected all its offers to influence their followers to accept the colonial system and abandon resistance movements.
