Even on the 'Trail of Tears' Natives brought their black slaves: "The forced migrations left the Civilized Tribes and their slaves in a new environment" ..."Most Native American tribal groups practiced some form of slavery before the European introduction of African slavery into North America." (web.archive.org)

Choctaw chief Greenwood Leflore, had 15,000 acres in Mississippi, 400 enslaved Africans

Smithsonian: “The Five Civilized Tribes were deeply committed to slavery, established their own racialized black codes, immediately reestablished slavery when they arrived in Indian territory, rebuilt their nations with slave labor, crushed slave rebellions, and enthusiastically sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War.” (smithsonianmag.com)

"purchasing slaves at a cheap rate from one tribe & disposing of them to others at a very high profit" - HBC (books.google.com). One slave fetched 1-2 otter skins from one trime, 3 skins from another, ten beaver pels or 15 elk hides, etc. Slaves were often used as prostitutes & concubines. Trading arms, ammunition, rum, and slaves, were more profitable than the fur trade.
