They now include reports of the brutality that took place when European settlers first met the native people of the so-called “New World.” But there are still many stories that have not been told. Margaret Ellen Newell is a college history professor. She writes about one such overlooked story in her book. She writes that New England colonists relied on the slave labor of thousands of Native Americans to build their new lives. Slavery is the practice of owning someone else and forcing them to work without paying them. Skipped over the slavery of native people After World War I, historians sometimes skipped over the slavery of native people. Newell writes that these historians chose to instead talk about the “uniqueness of New England.” While researching her first book, Newell came across a list of Native American slaves kept by colonists in Massachusetts. She was surprised. She had been taught that New England colonists didn’t keep Native Americans as slaves, because they often ran away. But that was not true. The colonies “depended on slavery,” Tanya H. Lee writes. She is a reporter for Indian Country Today. It is a news website. She writes that many houses “functioned only because of slavery.” In fact, the colonists fought two wars to keep Native Americans as slaves. Native Americans were killed, forced to work In the 1630s, Connecticut was home to the mighty Pequot tribe. European settlers wanted this tribe’s land. In order to get it, the settlers persuaded other Native American tribes to help them light the Pequots. In 1637, they burned a Pequot village on the banks of a river. This killed 400 to 700 Pequots, says the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut. It is a group that records the history of Connecticut. The Pequots who survived the war were captured and sold as slaves. King Philip’s War took place in the mid-i 670s. In this war, some Native Americans fought English settlers. They were protesting slavery. The Native Americans of New England lost the war. After the war ended, about half of all Native Americans in New England were forced to work “as indentured servants or slaves,” Lee writes. The Spanish relied on it, too The English colonists weren’t the only ones to use slave labor, of course. The Spanish relied on “Indian labor in most of their colonies,” writes Alan Gallay. He is an American historian. Enslaving Native Americans became one of the main ways for American colonies to make more money. “From 1670 to 1720 more Indians were shipped out of Charleston, South Carolina, than Africans were imported as slaves,” Gallay writes. “And Charleston was a major port for bringing in Africans.” Fewer Native American slaves in the late 1700s As the African slave in trade took off the late 1 700s, many Africans were brought to the U.S. as slaves. This meant that fewer Native Americans were kept as slaves. Also, many tribes had been forced off their land. Then the U.S. forced them to move to the Western U.S. But, something else was taking place. Some Native Americans were marrying African Americans. Their children were then called “colored.” They were not counted as Native Americans. This erased their Native American ancestry. DNA technology has helped keep their story from being lost to time. The history of Native American enslavement continues to he a complicated and dark part of America’s history. It is a story that deserves to be told. Reporting Live from the 1600s: Imagine you are a reporter who has been tasked with covering the early relations between Native Americans and the colonists. Craft four questions, two directed at Native Americans, and two at colonists. Answer two of your questions from the perspective of the Native Americans or the colonists. Article 2: Native Americans: A History of the Sioux Among the hundreds of American Indian peoples, perhaps the best known are the Sioux. They played a prominent role in U.S. history as the country expanded westward during the 1800s. Several Sioux leaders, including Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, rank among the most famous Native Americans. Today. the Sioux arc still one of the largest Native American groups. The name Sioux is a shortened form of Nadouessioux, meaning “snakes” or “enemies.” The label was originally applied to them by the Ojibwa tribe, who often fought with the Sioux. The Sioux are not a single tribe. Actually, they are an alliance of tribes who all traditionally spoke related languages. There were three major language divisions among the Sioux peoples: the Santec spoke [)akota, the Yankton spoke Nakota, and the Teton spoke Lakota. The language names — Dakota, Nakota and Lakota — are also commonly used to identify the three tribal groups.
