The Choctaws, Chicasaws, Cherokees, Creed and Seminoles all were known to
own Black slaves. C.f. Slavery and the Evolution of Cherokee Society. The
Cherokee were also known as salve traders of great skill, and were also good
slave trackers for runaways.
The Indians continued to hold their Black slaves until 1866 when they signed
various treaties to bring them into conformity with the requirements of the
13th Amendment.
