“The natives were never “enslaved”. They weren’t bought and sold; they weren’t forced to come to live on the missions; and they didn’t become anyone’s property.”

You haven’t t a clue of what you’re talking about. I know for a fact that everything you deny actually took place. My great grandmother experienced it firsthand.

I know exactly what I'm talking about. My great-grandmother was a California "Mission Indian" (Kumeysay, Barona band). I've have been extensively studying this history all my life. I stand by everything I said. There was no "slavery" by the Spaniards in California. Period.

I stand by what I said. The tribes situated in and around the Bay Area were used as slaves/servants by the Spaniards. My great grandmother was one from the Paiute/Shoshone. Taken from her people and placed in servitude to the Berryessa Family.
