It looks like you may have run two separate questions together. Why would American Indians need to pay to journey to America, given that that's where they already lived?

Becoming a servant (it wouldn't necessarily mean working on a plantation or farm, but it COULD mean that) in exchange for passage to the New World (often, though it could also be for payment for other things) was called "indentured servitude", and those who did it were "indentured servants". It was, in effect, a form of debt: a wealthy person would essentially pay your wages in one lump sum "up front" and then you would work at no pay (other than, usually, room and board) for an agreed-upon period.
