From the 16th century onward, European colonizers utilized Indigenous alliances to establish and maintain their slave-holding colonies in North America. Native American tribes often became active participants in the slave trade, capturing and selling enemy captives to European traders. This involvement was driven by a variety of factors, including economic incentives, political alliances, and cultural beliefs.

The History of Slaveholding Indians vividly portrays the horrors experienced by enslaved Africans and Native Americans alike. The book exposes the brutal conditions endured by slaves, including torture, forced labor, and sexual exploitation. It also sheds light on the resistance and resilience of those who fought for their freedom.

From the Iroquois Confederacy in the northeast to the tribes of the Southeast, Indigenous peoples participated in the enslavement of Africans and other Native Americans. The book explores the varying motivations and practices of these tribes, revealing the complex web of power dynamics and cultural beliefs that shaped their actions.
