what she meant by that, is that native people do not identify first and foremost as being native, native american, indigenous. we identify first as citizens of our tribal nation, and so if you ask me what i am, depending on the context, i probably would not say i am native american, i would probably say i am pawnee. but there sort of needed to be a term to be used to refer to us, all these different tribes collectively, so american indians was first, then native americans. now we use native and indigenous, and we use them interchangeably. >> we will let you chat with a few callers. clifton is waiting out of harrington, delaware. good >> good morning. my question is that my family can go all the way back to the dochi indians. we carried the english name who took us in under the king and queen of england. so we have been disenfranchised from the native americans, and now they are telling us that we do not exist, and we do exist here. on the eastern shore. that is not >> that's not uncommon. i am not familiar with the particular culture that you are talking to, but, you know, after contact

the results was that many natives build capacity. the english nearly always referred to as servants, but regardless of the term we choose to employ, they were in bondage. what about african slaves? at the same time native servitude became widespread, the number of african slaves in the colony also grew. after king philip's war, much of the increase was sellers from rhode island being slaves across the concord land and the western part of plumbers diction. slavery grew in other townships as well. for example, while the bricks who lost his irishman during the war found at least two african slaves. 1673, he purchased one, a girl named margaret from a boston mariner. they clarified margaret served bricks in his heirs during her natural life. as it turned out over the next 20 years, margaret was owned by five different members of the family. 1693, cornelius briggs testified she would receive a liberty after another 13 years of service. after his death the next year, she was sold to another seller, unclear whether she gained her freedom. w
