Howdy zirochka! The white people bought back their family members from the Indians or would pay someone to buy them back from the Indians. Like in this story if Hermann's parents knew where to find the Indians who took him they would have offered them a herd of horses to buy him off of the Indians and bring him back home.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
