Description
"The Oneida Creation Story is the oldest tradition of the Onyota'aka (People of the Standing Stone) and is one of the greatest pieces of oral literature of Native North American. Ancient elements of Iroquoian cosmology are the heart of the saga: Sky-world, the fall of Sky-woman, the creation of Earth upon Turtle's back, and the creation of mankind and early society by the twins. Various versions have been passed down from generation to generation,...

"Anthony Wonderley sheds light on a rich yet nearly forgotten body of Native American literature. He explores uniquely Iroquois components in Oneida oral narrative as it existed in the early twentieth century. Drawn largely from journals by non-Indian scholar Hope Emily Allen, the book includes newly discovered field notes - documents of an oral tradition no longer extant - and opens a door on the golden age of Iroquois folklore (ca. 1880-1925). "What...

They marveled at orchards bursting with fruit, thick herds of Ayrshire cattle and Cotswold sheep, and whizzing mills. They gaped at the people who lived in this place -- especially the women, with their queer cropped hair and shamelessly short skirts. The men and women of this...

"Debates have swirled around the question of national forgiveness for the past fifty years. Using two examples, the land claims of the Oneida Indians and the claims for reparations to Japanese Americans interned during World War II, Brian Weiner suggests a way of thinking about national misdeeds. Arguing beyond collective "innocence" or "guilt," Sins of the Parents offers a model of collective responsibility to deal with past wrongs in such a way...

Description
The recently discovered diary of an Oneida Community member written between 1876 and 1877 deals with love, aggression, jealousy, and the conflict between private desire and public good.
Victor Hawley was a thirty-year-old dental assistant with a passion for collecting butterflies, who fell in love with Mary Jones, another colony member. Because of the community's unique social and sexual practices, however, the two were kept apart and denied their...
