🎧 Listen now as Indigenous enslavement in America is examined in this powerful historical episode revealing a forgotten chapter of our nation’s past. 📜 Listen Here
In today’s episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell explores Indigenous enslavement in America, highlighting another often-overlooked chapter in our nation’s past. This practice began with Christopher Columbus in 1492 on the island of Haiti, where Native peoples were captured and forced into labor.
For Europeans, enslavement became a weapon of conquest; for many Indigenous groups, taking captives was a strategy for survival in a world rapidly collapsing around them.
Alongside devastating diseases, these systems of forced labor accelerated the catastrophic decline of Native populations after European arrival. Indigenous enslavement continued well into the 18th century, only fading as African enslavement expanded and became the dominant labor system in the colonies.
This episode asks us to reflect on history that is often minimized or overlooked, and to recognize the human cost behind colonization and expansion.
