INDIANS HAD MANY SLAVES
Slavery Mas Regular Institution
Among the Many Tribes on the
Pacific Coast.

Slavery was a regular institution
among many of the Indian tribes on
the Pacific coast from Alaska to Cali
fornia. Among many of these tribes
there was a regular slave caste within
the tribe.
The slaves were originally captives
of war, and they and their children
were condemned to perpetual hard la
Dor, harsh treatment, sale or death at
the will of the masters.
A milder type of slavery existed
among some of the Atlantic tribes.
Later when they came in contact with
the whites many of the Southern In
dians, such as the Seminoles, Creeks,
Cherokees and Choctaws, followed the
example of the Europeans n became
owners of negro slaves.-Detroit News
