The 13th Amendment did not free all slaves in the boundaries of modern-day US. Members of five Native American nations, the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole Nations (known as the Five Tribes), owned black slaves. Located outside the territorial boundaries of the US in a region known as Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma), these sovereign nations were not affected by proclamations or constitutional amendments. Instead, separate treaties had to be made between the US and these Native American nations not only to free slaves, but also to formally end the American Civil War battles and antagonism between American and Native American troops.

Also genocide, child sacrifices, torture, massacres and cannibalism.
Additionally, nearly all tribes fought with the British against the American rebels.
24% of blacks owned slaves, too. Some black slaves also held slaves.
Obviously they owned slaves: Many millions (1/10 to 1/5 of each tribe were slaves).
They head only three sources of power before Columbus arrived: dogs, slaves, and women.
And the slaves were probably treated best of the three.

Every race practiced slavery. Slavery was a near universal cultural practice.
Asians held black slaves too, and even enslaved their own people-
The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson.
In South Carolina alone, there were nearly 200 black slave owners-
American Indians owned black slaves- by the 1000’s
There were nearly 4000 black people who owned slaves in America during that period-
Most of the slaves brought to America were purchased from African black slave owners
I take that as a personal insult.
I treat my women and dogs much better than I treat my slaves :)
There were also black slave owners, but such facts must be ignored because they tend to confuse the liberal narrative.
Get with the progressive program, native Americans were one with nature, loving, kind, spiritual, driven to commit atrocities by evil white men dispite a 1,000 years of tribal warfare...before white men came...
They didn’t have blogs.
And American Plains Indians warred with each other, stole each other’s children and sold the children to the Spaniards in New Mexico. These children were slaves but eventually intermarried with the Spaniards. They were called Genizaros.
In New Orleans there were more than 3,000 blacks who owned slaves.
Yes, and they tortured, raped, murdered, and were not “at one” with their “environment,” just like anybody else. Leftists have made them into some sort of unicorn-fart symbolic noble wondrous “endangered species.”
The Left doesn’t care about consistency or hypocrisy. Slavery and all other racial grievances are simply a weapon for use against white people. It really is that simply, it really is about race, they are playing to win, and it has pretty much worked.
Did you know that some of the former slaves who went to Liberia (which was bought expressly for freed former slaves) ended up enslaving the local African people? There really is no end to this other than putting an end to this.
African tribes captured, and sold enemy tribesmen/tribeswomen to slavers. They need to pay reparations.
If art sold through tourist traps in Sedona tells me anything, prior to the arrival of evil white men, Indians lived solitary lives on their ponies, silhouetted against sunsets.
Yes, of course. No matter how much we may deplore it, slavery was THE NORM throughout human history until it died (at least open and legal slavery) in the West over the course of about 75 years during the 19th century. Then that gradually spread to the rest of the world.
Let me emphasize THE NORM. As far back as recorded history. Found everywhere in all sorts of societies. It should come as no surprise that Native Americans were just like everybody else in this respect.
