Two things not to get me started on is slavery and domestic voilence!!! BUT, in Africa there was slavery within the tribes, but I have read that slaves could earn their freedom, and often they were treated like family.<br />In the New World the Indians did the same with their own kind, but again, just like the Africans, there was a purpose. It was to help with labour and therefore economic, many were married into the tribes and this prevented inbreeding. I am sure life for all slaves within these cultures was not a holiday, but how does it compare to the English Government selling Irish, Scots & English people into slavery for money?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-83647432352509045042011-01-12T20:18:37.012-08:002011-01-12T20:18:37.012-08:00Great post.

One often reads about Africans being adopted into woodland Indian society, and I wonder how many India natives were adopted into Woodland Indian society?<br />So many questions & so few answers. Another would be are there any of your people involved in Living History?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-65146463537087842011-01-12T06:03:37.697-08:002011-01-12T06:03:37.697-08:00I too read about this and I must confess that it c...I too read about this and I must confess that it came as a total surprise to me. I have been catching up with the history of Indian indentured labour that went to all parts of the world during the colonial times and that is bad enough! I have of course read much about the African slave trade. In India there is still pockets where what is known as bonded labour exists, despite it being illegal.(http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/WO1008/S00517/india-bonded-labour-in-india.htm) Man is the worst enemy of man.Ramana Rajgopaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595611334904650281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-83245067019475829852011-01-12T00:59:37.435-08:002011-01-12T00:59:37.435-08:00An accurate post, Mr. Le Loup!
