- One of many uncomfortable truths about race in the US is that several Native American tribes once owned Black slaves.
After the civil war, they were forced to end the practice and granted their slaves full citizenship, but over the years, they stripped Black tribal members of their rights.
Al Jazeera's Shihab Rattansi reports from Oklahoma on how they are trying to win those rights back.

The five tribes who enslaved Black people-the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole-became known to whites as the “Five Civilized Tribes.” “These people are trying to assimilate and figure out where they fit into the racial hierarchy of the United States,” said Roberts.Feb 4, 2021
Brown Skin doesn't just come from Africa. Even some African tribes will tell you they don't come from Africa or they migrated their! They don't even call Africa Africa. Our Ancestors knew who they were! Noone tells an Aboriginal Australian they really came from Africa. Plus open books it's written and drawn what the Spaniards saw when they voyaged the America's.
Once money came into play they just so happen to change their minds.
ANY human being would want to restore and honor the burial grounds of their ancestors!
I’m from Oklahoma also and I’ve been telling my people this is what we are I’m Cherokee and Choctaw Indian myself I’m very very dark brown and hair is super curly if y’all seen my face you’d know it’s time to stand up and get our land back from these people they know we thrive on our own and they know we never wanted to be integrated
We were enslaved not slaves .
I just recently discovered that both of my grandparents are Cherokee. My grandmother has passed on and my grandfather is hanging on by a thread. I'm desperately learning all I can about my Cherokee heritage before he passes away. He did all the research.
It's also interesting how certain governments are supporting certain videos some of which are good some of which are cynical
Conversation that needs to be had. People feel threatened because it changes everything.
I wish conscientious voting was more ingrained in our societies. If every person in those tribes was told the facts and given an opportunity to have a say, the results would likely be very different.
Shows just how immature we'll call it most people are when they see darker skin indigenous people just because it doesn't fit the narrative you've been fed frightens you... Sad
American Indian blood runs through my family’s veins and we are still considered black people when you go to the doctor with a rare blood type look it up and it’s for American Indian ahhh my grandmother skin colors is black just saying and where I am from is far along where the croaton sigh was found if that’s even what really happen at this point who knows every thing is all mixed up jumbled up but all we have is our grandparents and one great one if you have that left I would advised for you all to get a ancestry test done just not in the united stated it’s corrupt and it’s not gone do you any good listen guy everyone was having enter course with everyone Africans having enter course with American Indians Spanish having enter course with American Indians and whytes having enter course with American Indians everyone is Indian no you can’t be Indian without being whyte when it’s not true some colonies of American Indians were not all the same color don’t let people fool you into thinking that but now only a group of what they call natives are deem as Native Americans after the Spanish and others nations did the R word to people on this what use to be an island don’t play and I hope someone does challenge me come I’m from the state where with have lost tribes and from the state where Indian roots run deeper that that so call thing they call the river please don’t go there you cannot let someone else tell you who you are you much know because they have been telling us who we are for far to long who tells them who they are no one they do wake up
This make me so sad man they basically destroyed and erased a whole lineage
reading some of these comments reinforces my belief that america has dumbed down so far they will never ecover
How the F**k u gna tell tribes who can be a member....?
The term black and African American do not apply to the so-called black people they are the Aboriginal Indigenous of Turtle Island what many people call America you try to connect them to Africa because you're trying to disconnect them from their Homeland they're not black American Indians they are Coppertone brown the original people of Turtle Island in America you all are trying to keep the same bulshit up, it's not going to work
What native tribes owned slaves?
People will try to claim anything. Next thing it's, I'm part martian...
There's no black native or white native !!!!
The Cherokee and Creek shouldn’t have ever allowed these pretenders in.
