4.9/5 (14167 ratings)

Description:The Oneidas of Wisconsin tell their own story in this richly diverse, authoritative contemporary history. "A Nation within a Nation" gathers first-person accounts, biographical essays, and scholars' investigations in a sweeping and provocative consideration of the period of 1900-1969. In the wake of removal from their native New York, the Oneida people settled near what is now Green Bay, on 65,000 acres of commonly held land. But in 1887, the Dawes Act paved the way for a devastating break-up of the reservation, and within a lifetime the Oneidas saw their land holdings plummet to less than 200 acres. Throughout struggles with poverty, oppression, and government interference and assimilationism, Wisconsin Oneidas remained connected as a community and true to their Iroquois roots. They also refused to relinquish their dream of reclaiming their land, and in recent years have not only stopped the land-loss, but have begun to reverse it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
