American Indian Traditional Healing Center

More often than not, the enslavement of Indigenous peoples of the Americas is rarely taught but we were the first peoples to experience slavery on this side of the world. The practice of slavery did not start with the arrival of enslaved people from the continent of Africa nor did it stop there. In fact, it continued and in some cases with Indigenous Americans being enslaved alongside Africans on the same plantations. Even afterwards, many of our people were pushed into areas alongside the descendants of enslaved African peoples. Not because we were the same. In fact, we were only viewed as such by those outside of our collectives.

People must become educated on true indigenous history just as they must change the way they think of Indigenous people. Rarely are the popular stories factual.

This erasure and renaming given by those outside of our collectives happened extensively to our indigenous peoples in the Southeastern region of North America and it continues to this day

If you are an Indigenous woman from any part of the Americas, have experienced colorism and featurism in Indigenous communities and would like to share your story, contact us:
