Yup, your black slaves found out about that the hard way...

How Native American Slaveholders Complicate the Trail of Tears Narrative

The new exhibition 'Americans' at the National Museum of the American Indian prompts a deeper dive for historic truths

www.smithsonianmag.com

Native Americans never would have had Black slaves if the Whites had not encouraged them to be slave owners. The Whites wanted to drive a wedge between the Black enslaved people and the Native Americans, so they got them to act/think like them.
What is so ironic about Native Americans being slave owners, to copy the Whites, is that soon after that the Whites drove the Native Americans off their land. Hence, the Trail of Tears.

Maybe their goal is to have us all get out of their country.

They had no country.

Terms mean nothing when it comes to you guys dogma. Illegals, country, racist, genocide.
Gawd, I hope one day you people grow up.

November is half over and I just heard this today. There's nothing that I see on USMB, isn't this important? What are the goals for NA communities? Water rights? Education? Crime reduction? Other?

Happy Native American Month to all Native Americans.

Hopefully, they will be given as much autonomy as possible on their reservations.

Above all, let's hope that the standard of living can be raised for all Native Americans that are living on those reservations.

Agreed, especially the more remote reservations.

It was their country before it was STOLEN from them.

History is full of unfairness and cruelty. If you study history, you will find that is the norm, not the exception. Unless you invent a time machine, you can't "fix" what happened in the past.

Does that include 'stolen' elections?

Can you acknowledge that this country was built on stolen land?

LOL! ^^^This racist thinks Native Americans were too dumb to discern whether or not they should own black people, until white folks told them.

They can't do that. It would crumble the white is supreme facade.

A simple acknowledgement would go a long way. Too bad it'll never happen.

"...our home on Native land."

I view the formation of America no differently than how empires of the past were built. Whether we are talking about the Mesopotamians, the Romans, the Spanish, the British etc the empires were built by an aggressor nation invading and defeating another nation. In my opinion that is what the Europeans did with the Indians. If you feel better about calling it "stealing", that's fine.

I'm not justifying history, I try to view events as they were in the context of the time.

Pretty much what I expected. Marinate on this. When "The left" exterminates MAGA you will have absolutely nothing to complain about because shit happens.

Pretty much what I expected, an angry over-emotional response. That's ok, happy Thanksgiving!

The native Americans had no concept of anything larger than tribe. There was no nation. Just little enclaves that natives conquered, by killing and enslaving the members of the other tribes that held them. The history of the native Americans was one of continual warfare.

The Cherokees were slave owners long before the first white landed in North America.

So Hellbelly; who you mad at? The old Colonial Powers or those who defeated them in the War of Independence?
