The Native American Indians didn't enslave others?.........or did they just kill the men?........ I could be wrong but I really haven't researched it extensively, but for what I've read (and not just in works of fiction, whether based in fact or not), they killed them all the men. Actually, I don't know for certain what they did with women and children, if they were enslaved or assimilated in the new society, so I won't make any more such pronouncements on the subject.

One of the reasons the Cherokee nation was so large, powerful and growing was their habit of subsuming other tribes. Captured Creeks became Cherokee or died--same with Lumbee and many smaller and weaker tribes. It was a kind of ethnic cleansing or forced conversion--

If I remember correctly, Magua started off as a Huron slave of the Iroquois before he was adopted into the tribe in "The Last of the Mohegans".And Indians [indigenous Aborigines to be precise], did enslave other Indians.
