Native americans had slaves? (lemmy.ml)

Native americans had slaves? Do you have any references to put in perspective and counter right wing boot licking perspectives on this matter? Like the issue is feudalism and capitalism/imperialism at the core. Like the natives had conflict... possibly scalped a few but I think the right wing on behalf of their "Yes big daddy" capo corpo masters like to paint images of a past a skew.

The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow goes into how some Native Americans had slaves, and how/why other tribes refused to have them, though the whole book is an interesting and worthwhile read.
