For my research topic I would like to explore the issues pertaining to the use of native peoples as slave labor during the early colonization of Latin American, and how that has developed into an underclass labor force in modern times. This would also involve examination of the United States’ mistreatment of Native American peoples. I would also like to look further into efforts, both in the past and the present, to defeat this ingrained system of segregation and racism. Phrasing this like a question I would ask: how did forced labor of Native American and Latin American peoples develop into a modern day system or oppression and poverty?
