Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Filled with colorful photographs, this thoroughly researched volume portrays the history and culture of the Oneidas for readers. The account of Oneida history covers such topics as the Iroquois Confederacy, the impact of European colonists on Oneida life, the struggles of Oneidas during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the new prosperity of Oneidas in the 21st century. In its examination of Oneida culture, the book explores the nation's traditional way of life, the role of clans, the important place of women in Oneida society, and Oneida beliefs. A timeline gives readers a brief history of the Oneidas at a glance, and additional resources and suggested activities offer readers more ways to learn about the Oneidas' fascinating culture.
