The Tupi lived in small, mobile communities, forced by weak soil that could not last long under their form of slash-and-burn agriculture to move frequently. European observers were immediately impressed by their hunting skills. Just as the first Europeans arrived, the Tupi were in the process of conquering the Brazilian coastline. Different tribes frequently fought with one another for territory or revenge, and the representatives of different European nations found themselves allying with one tribe or another against other tribes and other Europeans. Hans Staden, author of one of the most famous accounts of life among the Tupi, observed their warfare and the complicated alliances between natives and Europeans during the time he was held captive among the Tupinamba. Now there was a young lad from their people who had been a slave among the Portuguese. The savages among whom the Portuguese live [the Tupiniquins] had traveled to the land of the Tuppin Imba to wage war on them and had captured a whole village and eaten the old people.
Slavery among the indigenous peoples of North and South America took many forms. After the English settlers arrived, five tribes came to own black slaves, imitating the Europeans. European colonies purchased indigenous people as slaves as part of the international indigenous American slave trade , which lasted from the late 15th century into the 19th century.

That's probably true, and that would be a great thing for her, but they wouldn't see it that way.
