    This is an offprint of two chapters of a more complete monograph published by the author under the title of "How America's First Settlers Invented Chattel Slavery." That book is still available from the publisher, but the two chapters reproduced here are because they have particular relevance to contemporary subjects and discussions, particularly surrounding the recent canonization of Father Junipero Serra. The subject of the reprinted chapters is the dehumanization of Native Americans and Africans with Language, Laws, Guns, and Religion, especially during the colonization of early settlers in the United States. The two chapters reproduced in this offprint are from a larger work published in the Series "Berkeley Insights in Linguistics and Semiotics" and are reproduced here, by the author, with the kind permission of Peter Lang Publishers, Inc., New York.
