Indigenous men\,\nwomen\, and children—including non-combatants—could be captured and forced into servitude. Colonial authorities sometimes offered\nclemency to those who surrendered\, yet still shipped people out of the region or placed them into English households for years\nof coerced labor. \nIn this presentation\, Fisher traces the lived realities of Native families and communities through captivity\, forced separation\,\nand trafficking—sometimes to destinations as far as the Caribbean and North Africa. He also explores how these losses were used\nto justify further land seizure\, even as Native communities persisted and continued pressing for sovereignty. \nSpeaker\nLinford D. Fisher is an Associate Professor of History at Brown University and the principal investigator of\nStolen Relations: Recovering Stories of Indigenous Enslavement in the Americas\, a community-centered\,\ntribal-collaborative digital project documenting Indigenous experiences of slavery and servitude. \nRelated Book & Resources\n\nStolen Relations (project):\nwww.stolenrelations.org\nStealing America: The Hidden Story of Indigenous Slavery in U.S. History (Liveright/Norton\, 2026):\nPublisher page\n\nCopies may be available for purchase at the event.
