Black slavery in America usually evokes images of the antebellum
South, but few realize that members of the Five Civilized Tribes--the
Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles--in Indian
Territory, today's Oklahoma, also had slaves.

Fascinating stuff, Jerry. Thanks for sharing it.

Alas, no number of contrarian facts will serve to change people's minds
about how "noble" the Indians were, nor how "cruel" our white ancestors were
to "drive them off their land."

The Robert Redford version of history just plays so much better than
yours...
