Stealing America: The Hidden Story of Indigenous Slavery in U.S. History

byLinford D. Fisher

Historian Linford D. Fisher reveals Indigenous slavery as a central but long-obscured part of United States history. Across regions and centuries, Native people were captured, sold, transported, coerced into labor, and displaced from land through systems that overlapped with African slavery and colonial expansion. The book follows enslaved individuals and the governments, traders, settlers, and institutions that profited from them. Fisher shows how forced labor and land theft worked together in the making of America, challenging national narratives that confine Indigenous dispossession and slavery to separate histories.
