Photograph by Joy Bilharz. ExEcuTivE SuMMARy The Mohawk Valley Battlefield Ethnography Project was designed to document the relationships between contemporary Indian peoples and the events that occurred in central New York during the mid to late eighteenth century. The particular focus was Fort Stanwix, located near the Oneida Carry, which linked the Mohawk and St. Lawrence Rivers via Wood Creek, and the Oriskany Battlefield. Because of its strategic location, Fort Stanwix was the site of several critical treaties between the British and the Iroquois and, following the American Revolution, between the latter and the United States. This region was the homeland of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy whose neutrality or military support was desired by both the British and the rebels during the Revolution. The Battle of Oriskany, 6 August 1777, occurred as the Tryon County militia, aided by Oneida warriors, was marching to relieve the British siege of Ft.

  • How the Past Conspires with the Present and What City of Sherrill V
    Grave but Ancient Wrongs: How the Past Conspires With the Present and What City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation and Oneida Indian Nation v. Madison County Hold for the Future of Tribal Sovereignty Christopher Y. Bosch “Unlike the executive and legislative branches of government, the judiciary cannot turn a deaf ear in the face of disputes such as these. Rather, a judge must put aside any personal opinions or ideas and apply the Constitution, Treaties, and laws of this great country.”1 I. Introduction City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation2 was decided by the Supreme Court on March 29, 2005. The issue presented was whether the Oneida Indian Nation of New York (hereinafter Oneida or Nation) could avoid state taxation by asserting sovereignty over parcels of reservation land that were long ago sold to non-Indians in violation of the Non-intercourse act and recently reacquired by the Nation in open-market transactions. In its opinion, the Court holds that “standards of federal Indian law and federal equity practice”3 preclude the Oneidas from reviving ancient sovereignty over the land. In its analysis, however, the Court relies on the common law doctrines of laches, acquiescence and impossibility to the near exclusion of federal Indian law. Moreover, there exists ample evidence to suggest that the Oneidas sought redress from state and federal governments for many years and were denied a forum in both state and federal courts, thereby seriously calling into question the application of laches and acquiescence. The more pressing issue, however, is what practical effects this decision will have on the future of tribal sovereignty.

  • Oneida Indian Nation: a Personal History
    Oneida Indian Nation: A Personal History Kandice Watson February 25, 2016 Kandice Watson is the Director of Education and Cultural Outreach for the Oneida Indian Nation, and is also Director of the Nation’s Shako:wi Cultural Center. y name is Kandice Watson. I am a member of the Oneida Indian Nation of New York. There are M three Oneida Indian Nations—two are in the United States (one in New York and one in Wisconsin), and the other is in Oneida, Canada. They are all independent of each other. They have their own governments, their own rules, their own everything. I am from New York, and I moved to the Oneida Indian reservation when I was about six years old, in about 1971. In case you are not aware—I was not aware of this myself until a few years ago—the area here around Juniata College has a very strong connection with the Oneida Indian Nation. I do a lot of traveling, and my husband and I drive through Pennsylvania to get to Washington, D.C., and every time we come through Pennsylvania we try to go a different route. One time we found ourselves driving through Oneida, Pennsylvania, and we wondered why on Earth there is an Oneida, Pennsylvania. When I got home I did some research and found out about Juniata and Oneida and the reason why they are here. There used to be an Oneida village here, a long time ago in the mid-1600s. We all know about Captain John Smith. He was the one who was with Pocahontas.
