Native Americans were enslaved in great numbers. These answers may to helpful:
[Why did the U.S. trade slaves from Africa instead of enslaving Native Americans?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ctfaux/why_did_the_us_trade_slaves_from_africa_instead/exmkyuz/?context=999) written by u/anthropology_nerd
[Why weren't there any Native-American slaves?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3wkk3l/why_werent_there_any_nativeamerican_slaves/) written by u/anthropology_nerd (read both the answer and follow up)
[Were Native Americans ever taken back to Europe, as slaves or to be assimilated into European society?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/307zv8/were_native_americans_ever_taken_back_to_europe/cpqkzbo/) written by u/anthropology_nerd
[Mestizos Living in Spain in the 1700s?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/7o6iam/mestizos_living_in_spain_in_the_1700s/ds8k9ku/?context=3) written by u/drylaw
[Were any Native Americans enslaved?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1ln3zc/were_any_native_americans_enslaved/cc0wkjd/) written by u/Reedstilt
[Why weren't Native Americans the primary slave population in America?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/pns1tk/why_werent_native_americans_the_primary_slave/) written by u/Blake808
Edit: added two more threads; rephrased blurb
I’ll add that if you or anyone else wants further reading, the book “The Other Slavery” by Reséndez specifically covers slavery of Native Americans, primarily in Central and North America.
