Oneida
Definition
- The Oneida call themselves Onyotaa:ka, or “People of the Upright Stone.” The Oneida were a prosperous society living in present-day central New York (from the Lawrence River south to the Pennsylvania border), but during the 17th and 18th centuries, they suffered severe population losses as a result of European disease (smallpox) and warfare. They are one of the five founding Haudenosaunee nations that compose the Iroquois Confederacy (along with the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, and Onondaga, and later the Tuscarora).
