Oneidas


A tribe of the Iroquois confederacy. Their villages stood

between those of the Mohawks on the east and the Onondagas on the west.

In the American Revolution, they alone with some of the Tuscaroras took

the side of the rebellious colonists, the remainder of the confederacy

remaining loyal to Great Britain. The remnant of the tribe is now

settled on reservations in New York, in Wisconsin, and in the Niagara

peninsula. =Index=: (Count Frontenac era) Torture Father Millet, 216; party of, destroyed,
