Not in Indian territory, most Indians didn't like slaves and in fact even owned slaves. Later Indians were forced to accept freedmen, and grant them tribal citizenship. Most native Americans and slaves didn't get along. I know in Indian territory this is true all tribes sided with the confederacy. If you are looking for a specific tribe that is not (Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee, Seminole, or Osage) then there might be a different story.
