As the U.S. faces a reckoning over its history of racism, some Native American tribal nations that once owned slaves also are grappling with their own mistreatment of Black people.
When Native American tribes were forced from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern United States to what is now Oklahoma in the 1800s known as the Trail of Tears thousands of Black slaves owned by tribal members also were removed and forced to provide manual labor along the way.
