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

There were also black slave owners, but such facts must be ignored because they tend to confuse the liberal narrative.

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.

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.

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.

Look. Wars of conquest were and are extremely common in the history of the world. The winner took the women as sex slaves, killed the elderly and some men and took the rest as slaves. As long as there have been warring tribes there has been slavery. Show me a tribe that didn’t have slaves and I’ll show you a tribe that was cut off from all other people.

Muzzies still do it today.

American Indians owned slaves waaaay back, long before any European stumbled shore on the continent. They enslaved each other as a regular thing; one tribe enslaved another, etc. Old news.

And, by the way, black African slaves fared far, far better than any unfortunate — white, black, red, brown, etc. — who was unlucky enough to fall captive to an American Indian.

I have been waiting for this topic to be brought out. In the territory of New Mexico, 30% of the population were slaves around 1867, long after the Emancipation of the blacks. Then there was a special law passed outlawing it. There are several communities throughout New Mexico which were formed by the slaves after the Peonage Act of 1867. All tribes had them, Hispanics had them, Anglos had them, and the slaves were of all ethnics.
