Up in smoke.
American Indians were noted slavers. Comanche in particular made 2,000 mile slave raids round trip into Mexico every year to abduct slaves. The American Indians called the slaves "captives". YES they were.

When a Navajo man died, his slaves were usually killed so they would accompany him to the afterlife. A Navajo National Park Ranger admitted to me that they had slaves but he said they were given a bead necklace to show "that they were one of us." He neglected to say the part about the slaves being killed when the owner died. Also, slave women were not allowed to weave rugs--that was reserved for Navajo only. The good thing was Navajos generally did not scalp victims nor did they torture them--unlike Apaches, Comanches, and other tribes. But I think this was not out of kindness but rather because of fear of the dead.
