Description: For the first time, the traumatic removal of the Oneida Indians from their Iroquois homelands in New York to the northwest frontier of Wisconsin is examined in a groundbreaking collection of essay, The Oneida Indian Journey: From New York to Wisconsin, 1784-1860. To shed light on this vital period of Oneida history, editors Laurence M. Hauptman and L. Gordon McLester III present a unique collaboration between the members of the Oneida Nation of Indians of Wisconsin, sponsors of the book, and the academic community. Two professional historians, a geographer, an anthropologist, an archivist, and an attorney join eighteen voices from the Oneida community -- local historians, folklorists, genealogists, linguists, and tribal elders -- to discuss tribal dispossession and community, Oneida community perspectives of Oneida traditions, and ongoing efforts to uncover the scope of Oneida history.
