On^yote’a:ka – People of the Standing Stone – The story of Oneidas in Wisconsin

The On^yote’a:ka, commonly known as the Oneidas, originate from what is now known as New York state. They are a part of the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse), also known as the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. The story of how the Oneidas came to be in Wisconsin is a tale full of deceit and corruption. However, Oneidas have managed to take their situation and make the best of it. In an effort to show the beauty that Oneida people have created for their community, we will share a brief historical timeline before we get into some of our traditional teachings and ways of being on this earth, both in ancient times and today.
