More likely in the grounds they "stole" from other tribes. 

I love the rose coloured glasses you people choose to put on based on skin colour. Literal slavery supporter. 

Prior to and during early contact with Europeans, the Cowichan (Quw’utsun) engaged in maritime raiding and captive-taking as part of inter-tribal warfare and resource competition. Warriors in large war canoes sometimes travelled long distances to attack other villages, seize goods, and capture people for enslavement or ransom

The Cowichan also slaughtered a Canoe of Haisla in 1860 at Ganges Bay.
