Yep, but the Indios weren’t really considered in any American lawmaking or social concerns at the time. They’re not in the census because they weren’t citizens and it was unfathomable to consider them thus (same with niggers, except for the 3/5 consideration of property, which the whole North hated… because it considered them 3/5 more of a person than everyone in the North knew they were)
The only reason for that compromise was because the population density in the North meant that without it the South would never have a say in how the federal government operated.
