In the record
The United States made 4 treaties and agreements that name Oneida as a party, from Treaty with the Oneida, Tuscarora, and Stockbridge, 1794 to Oneida (First Christian and Orchard Parties) at Washington, DC (1838).
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Oneida: Fort Stanwix 1784: cession by Haudenosaunee delegates who lacked authority. One court case turned on its rights: Haaland v. Brackeen.
The records group it with Haudenosaunee (Six Nations). Today, Oneida Indian Nation and Oneida Nation carry this history, as their own pages or research records say. Land has come back: Oneida Indian Nation reacquisition and trust applications.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
The record over time
Circles are land the United States recorded as ceded, sized by acres and colored by how it was taken. Bars are treaties, broken promises, court cases and land returns.
