America’s First Slavery Wasn’t What You Think

In this episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell examines Indigenous enslavement in America — a chapter often minimized in traditional historical narratives. Beginning in 1492 with Christopher Columbus, Native peoples were captured and forced into labor as European colonization expanded.

Alongside devastating disease, these systems of forced labor accelerated the decline of Native populations. Indigenous enslavement continued well into the 18th century before African enslavement became the dominant labor system in the colonies.


This episode provides historical context that challenges common assumptions about how slavery began in America. Historical references include early colonial records and established research on Indigenous enslavement in the Americas.
