Here in the United States, when we think about the term “slavery” we think about the transatlantic slave trade and the institution of chattel slavery. But this wasn’t the only type of enslavement that took place in the Americas and the Caribbean. Today Danielle looks at the complicated history surrounding the European enslavement of Indigenous peoples.
