"Seattle earned his reputation at a young age as a leader and a warrior, ambushing and defeating groups of tribal enemy raiders coming up the Green River from the Cascade foothills, and attacking the Chimakum and the S'Klallam tribes living on the Olympic Peninsula. Like many of his contemporaries, he owned slaves captured during his raids. "

Not very PC!
Well they weren’t captured and sold. Whatever, you’re right. Slaves are slaves.
seattle will need a pass now that Marshawn Lynch is gone.
We are owned by our dogs....that’s how it works with English bulldogs....THEY own you not the other way around. lol
The same Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King who was a Commie serial adulterer who used to beat up white prostitutes? The same one who plagiarized more than 40% of his dissertation?
That’s the real reason the europeans wanted to subvert the indians in north america.
It was well known that all tribes had teens and young adults that would go out in “war parties” that would steal stuff from other tribes, including people to use as slaves.
So the europeans came here to end slavery.
Further on in that Wikipedia article it says Seattle did own slaves, captives taken in raids.
Some Northwest Indian tribes even killed slaves to use as rollers for the canoes of their guests, as they arrived at a potlatch.
Every human alive must be the descendant of successful murderers, rapists, slavers and conquerors. The amazing thing is that we can be better than that at all.
Just for the tally book, how did “this slavery” compare to human bondage in the slave states of New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Maryland?
“The same Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King who was a Commie serial adulterer who used to beat up white prostitutes?”
I never did favor a man who beat women with his fists.
New York is named after the owner of a British Slave Trade company. Now what?
Why is it different? The truth is when past societies needed workers and there were no willing workers they generally enslaved whoever was handy at the time if they had the power to do so. We are likely all descended from people who were enslaved at one time or another by one group or another.
If they were not captured how did they become slaves? Slaves of every race have indeed been captured, bought, sold, worked, abused by others who were not just white people. Native Americans did have value on slaves, they were commonly sold- traded for things of value since their currency was trade goods.
I’d love to see Trump latch onto this! The amount of sputtering from the Left would be stupendous. There must be hundreds if not thousands of places named after former Native American slave owners / traders.
Maybe it should be turned into a penal colony. Oh, wait, that's science fiction...or is it?
Robert Marly was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of doobies in his lifetime.
You are correct, and the way he did them in is totally inhumane. He lit them on fore so as to inhale their burning flesh. He said it make him feel Rasta to its fullest, yeah mon. But thankfully he spared the doobie brothers. I hear it was because they were supplying him with their doobie offspring. 8>)
This is a good one.
