Native history also included dispossession of labor, or superexploitation, through enslavement in North America and deportation for enslavement in the Caribbean, though of lesser magnitude and institutionalization than for Black people in the US.
“This history is also marked, though least visibly, with dispossession of labor, or superexploitation, through enslavement in North America and deportation for enslavement in the Caribbean (though of a lesser magnitude and level of institutionalization than was the case for Black people in the US) (Hixson 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
