Indian Chief Joseph Brant owned 40 black slaves. After he fled to Canada upon serving on the losing side of the American Revolution, he made them build him a house. Then he made them build another. He was not a very progressive thinker.

This can’t be true! The Native Americans were all noble savages, Naturkinder, living in harmony with each other and with the Great Mother Earth! They can’t possibly have held slaves, or fought wars, or impacted their environment negatively through overfarming, overhunting, using fire to clear acres of virgin forest for planting, or torturing captives. Only White People do things like that, we all know this.
By the way, that was sarcasm, for those of you who didn’t realize it.
