Slavery as practiced by Native Americans in the Southwest involved capturing women and children from other communities and assimilating them into their captors' communities. It was a common practice among different tribes and did not necessarily give increased socioeconomic status to the captors. There were no specific rules about who could be enslaved within a tribe, unlike in some other societies where only criminals or prisoners of war could be enslaved. Although it may have been less violent than chattel slavery, it still involved the involuntary removal and forced labor of individuals.
