J South, You are SOMEwhat right. SOME Indians, in SOME places, at SOME times, held SOME captured enemies in SOMEthing like slavery, for SOME period of time before they were assimilated into the tribe. The differences are legions, and I'm not even sure that slaves in Indian tribes were considered as personal property, or just as lesser beings, which is not exactly slavery.
