Pretty much this.Leave it to the Indians.
There's not much TO do with it until either land hunger or some other reason comes along.
They would in all likelihood use the Five Civilized Tribes in the same fashion the USA will be using runaway blacks, as a propaganda exercise. That these tribes themselves own slaves would grease the skids, so to speak.
Stand Watie would probably end up in charge of it until the Confederates, like the Union before it, looked to expand into Indian territory and kicked the Native Americans off the land. Then some Confederate-Indian wars.

This is true, but remember, there is oil in Oklahoma and if the Confederacy lasts long enough, they'll want their piece of that as well.

They didn't necessarily have the same type of slavery as the confederates, though. The Seminole system of slavery, I believe, was similar to European feudalism in that their slaves tithed them a portion of their harvest but otherwise were largely left alone. The other tribes considered the Seminole slaves the tribe's military allies, and often attacked them. The presence of black Seminoles in Indian territory could create interesting tension as blacks escaped from other masters turn to that tribe for protection, causing massive tension between the Seminoles and other slave-owning cultures in the area.
