        Not true, the larger tribes of Indians (native Americans) did have slaves, traded to them by the white man. They also invaded the villages of smaller tribes and made slaves of them. People always cry about what the "white man" did to the Indians but they were not the beautiful people that most everyone thinks they were. They truly were savages with people outside of their own tribe.
