About this event

Why did the Oneidas choose to help the colonists in the Revolutionary War? Ron Patterson, an Oneida member (wolf clan), will discuss the structure and traditions of the Oneida Society, the importance of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Oneida’s difficult decision to oppose their Confederacy brethren. The Oneidas made contributions at Valley Forge and other campaigns and battles of the Revolutionary War. No charge to attend.
