Funny how American students are never taught that so-called “native Americans” were allowed to continue to hold slaves even after the emancipation proclamation.

Some were. Chief John Ross sided with the union and was allowed to keep slaves. The Southern Cherokee fighting for the Confederacy couldn’t.
Stand Watie and his band of Cherokee Braves went to the Ross Plantation after Ross was given sanctuary in the North, and burned the mansion and killed the slaves..
