Not the Indigenous people, native to the land.
In the 1800's, Political parties were formed, like the American Republicans and the Native Americans.
In 1835, the Native American Democratic Association.
The term "Native American" referred not to the continent's original peoples, but to native-born Protestants.
The indigenous people of this land were still treated as savages.
While growing up and able to make some elder meetings, if you were real quiet as I tried to be, one would often hear elders talking about their elders treatment as less than the animals.
The women of the house would feed her husband, then the children, the children already fed the animals, then she would feed the dog, if there was any left over, the slaves (African and native) could fight over it!
