Did native americans own slaves?

Question

I ment ones from africa.

Answer 1

Native Americans did own slaves. Some of there slaves were Africans as well. African slaves were bartered for as well as traded umongst settlers and natives. No one culture was exempt for the institution of slavery.

Answer 2

Some tribes of native Americans had African Slaves that went to them in a position of servitude and some Africans became family members in certain tribes. In Africa, there was also a system of slavery, but still there should always be remembered that the system of slavery in the Untied States and Europe as far as it's disposition towards Africans was unique in the fact that the brutality exercised and permited with slaves did not exist anywhere else in the world. Slavery as an institution in the states was brutal and all encompassing. In Africa, a slave could not be raped, maimed, beaten, or killed by his owner, and only worked from sun up until two in the afternoon, since the temperature was too hot to work from that time forward. A slave was also given a sort of allowance and if possible would be allowed to purchase his or her freedom. Children of slaves were not automatically born into slavery and if a slave owner mentioned publicly that a freed slave used to belong to him he could be brought to trial and made to answer for that as a crime and if he caused physical harm to his slave. Only Europeans and Americans found it necessary to brutalize human beings under the umbrella of slavery as it was. Also consider the brutal passsage over the sea's packed in like sardines, where many Africans died chained to living Africans. No Native American tribe could have been responsible for that.

Answer 3

The Cherokee nation living in Georgia learned plantation farming from the Europeans, and they indeed had ***** slaves. The treaty signed with the US government just after the civil war required the ending of this practice and the slave ****** were required to be made full citizens of the Cherokee nation as freedmen. As such, they also made the death march to Oklahoma, and show up on government records. Now that the tribes are coming into money, they are attempting to disenfranchise the ***** citizens and has created quite a stir.

Answer 4

Yes, I live in the Ohio Valley and the Adena Indians and many of the Great Lakes tribes (Hurons, Iroquois, etc) took prisoners and made them slaves. In some cases Indian folklore of a tribe like to say that it was a benevolent situation but other stories indicate that slaves were worked and if food was short in the winter they were killed (not eaten). However, it was relatively easy for native Americans to escape and they needed only to make it another area to be free, whereas, blacks in colonial America had little chance of escaping to anywhere safe until the non slave states were declared.
