During the American War of Independence, the Oneidas became the revolutionaries' most important Indian allies. They undertook a difficult balancing act, helping the patriots while trying to avoid harming their Iroquois brethren. Despite the Oneidas' wartime service, they were dispossessed of nearly all their lands through treaties with the state of New York. In eighty years the Oneidas had gone from being an autonomous, powerful people in their ancestral homeland to being residents of disparate, politically exclusive reservation communities separated by up to nine hundred miles and completely surrounded by non-Indians. The Oneidas' physical, political, and emotional division persists to this day. Even for those who stayed put, their world changed more in cultural, ecological, and demographic terms than at any time before or since. Oneidas of the post-Revolutionary decades were reluctant pioneers, undertaking more of the adaptations to colonized life than any other generation. Amid such wrenching change, maintaining continuity was itself a creative challenge. The story of that extraordinary endurance lies at the heart of this book. 410 0$aNative Americans of the Northeast. 606 $aOneida Indians$xHistory 606 $aOneida Indians$xGovernment relations 606 $aOneida Indians$xRelocation 606 $aIndians of North America$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOneida Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aOneida Indians$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aOneida Indians$xRelocation. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory 676 $a974.7004/9755 700 $aTiro$b Karim M.$0896111 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464143903321 996 $aThe people of the standing stone$92001788 997 $aUNINA
