www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6gRnwnw/ I was right this minute years old when I learned that Indigenous Americans were trafficked and enslaved OUTSIDE of North America. More than 50K Native Americans were shipped overseas. I had no idea.

Not only were NA enslaved but many tribes also owned slaves. Such as the “Five Civilized Tribes”. They were called this for adopting chattel slavery. The Cherokee is one of the five and is dealing with controversy around expelling black members (both descendants and former slaves = freedman).

Knowledge is power, even if it's not what you wanted to know. Kidnapped and shipped to other countries for money... It's looking like "Never Again" is happening again, and again. Why would anyone invest in private prisons if they were only to be temporary?

It was difficult keep indigenous people enslaved in what is currently the US because of their knowledge of the territory and connections to existing communities. In college I read source texts about this stuff. People generally don't know just how WILD things were...

There was one, Tisquantum of the Patuxet, who was literally captured, sold in Spain, freed by friars, traveled to England, found passage BACK across the Atlantic, found out that his tribe had been wiped out by disease, wen to live with the Wampanoag, and greeted the Pilgrims upon their arrival.

That makes a difference? If you are enslaving someone for economic purposes that is evil. But if you just enslaving them to help grow crops or something that is ok. I had no idea.

I’m not deflecting. I’m countering the argument that America is somehow illegitimate because slavery was it’s “original sin”. The original sin of slavery was committed by every civilization that had walked the Earth prior to the first African being brought to the colonies because every Civilization

had practiced slavery at some point in their history. I’m not absolving White colonists of their actions, but I am saying they don’t deserve some special blame and they certainly don’t deserve all of the blame. Slavery was wrong, but it was a shared wrong. Ignoring that is dishonest.

When will the indigenous get schools teaching in their languages, recognition as the true Americans, and the rape of their land by colonialists finish? Then there would be something to celebrate on 4th July.

Some Native American tribes have colleges. They offer language & cultural studies. The Muscogee (Creek)Nation, Leech Lake Nation, Haskell Indian Nations Univ is inter-tribal. Funding is being cut due to the fascist regime tho. Many Tribes have focused on language preservation for a while now.

Cultural identity is being recognised over here in the UK, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall lost much of their identity but it is slowly being recognised starting with their languages. I hope all indigenous people in the world have their languages and (eventually) sovereignty restored.

Unfortunately it is in a very bad way. The UK colonised more countries than any other country. With other Europeans that included Canada, the USA, South Asia, parts of Africa, numerous islands and Australasia. The descendents of which are colonialists not indigenous.

The Wampanoag people of New England were subjected to a genocide call King Phillips War. Almost all of those not killed were sold into slavery, transported typically to Caribbean sugar plantations. The largest surviving communities were on the island of Marthas Vineyard.

It's frustrating, because Massasoit and Plymouth had genuinely good relations. Metacom was more aggressive, though, as were the Mass Bay settlers, and both sides escalated what could have been peace.
