Iroquois found themselves in a deadlock, since they became accustomed to believing that their superior allie, the British, was only one unified group of people and had no desire to engulf themselves in another civil conflict. Early in the revolution, Oneida leaders sent a message to the governor of New York stating: "We are unwilling to join either side of such a contest, for we

American reform movements in the early to mid 1800’s strived at improving our developing society. America was growing larger, and with the expanding population, many new ideas sprang up. Conflicting opinions between the people of the United States caused the emergence of an Age of Reform, where people tried to change things such as the educational system and women’s rights. These movements were the result of our nation’s self-determination and interest in improving the society we

The public memory of the American Revolution is filled with men, and dates that have lived in our history since the establishment of the United States of America. Men such as George Washington whose image lives on our most used currency the one dollar bill and the quarter. Dates such as July 4th Independence Day which the country celebrates with massive festivals every year. How then do people like Crispus Attucks, Haym Salomon, Nathan Hale, and George Hewes become part of the public memory for

Iroquois: Native Life, Assimilation, and War The Iroquois nations, one of the oldest and most prestigious tribes in the history of all Native Americans. In this paper I will be showing why the Iroquois ended up siding with the English through the French and Indian, and Revolutionary wars through factors of colonization. I will also be showing some features of their culture, considering the iroquois are not well known in the western United States, and discussing the fall of the once great tribes.

Examples of a Utopian society include The Garden of Eden where God describes the beginning as a perfect society where no evil existed and was unheard of. Further more The Oneida Community tried to mirror the life of Christ and create a

Secondly, dance is a big part of Native American culture, and thus will be incorporated into my teaching of physical education. Native Americans have used dance as a way to connect with each other and honour longstanding traditions. Dance is an important part of socialization, as well as preservation of fascinating and distinct cultures. Overall, traditional Native American dances reflect cultural beliefs. The dances define their values in life, their environment, and their relationships. They tell

Americans did not have the Old World's concept of "sin" or human violations of the divine order, but their insights on the origins of good and evil were expressed in their creation stories. The story that stood out for me was the creation account of the Oneidas. The story explained that there were twin deities that had opposing ideas in regards to creation. When one of the deities created man for the other deity, they made an agreement that they would share control of the man's offspring. However, one of

I chose the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe. I primarily chose this tribe because it is one that was influential in my life having gone to school in Bonduel. I have friends among this tribe and have genuinely enjoyed the knowledge and heritage they have shared with me. This tribe is located in Shawano County and covers a span of 22,139 acres. Of this acreage about 73.4% is held in trust while the remaining 26.6% is fee land. The Stockbridge- Munsee Tribe has a total of 1565 tribal members. Of these

over the artist, Joanne Shenandoah. I found her on Spotify and took a quick interest in her music. Joanne is a popular Native American musician. She is an acoustic guitarist, but she also sings and composes music (“Joanne Shenandoah,” 2017). In the Oneida language, her name means “she sings” (Wright, n.d.). I think this is the perfect name for her because she has a beautiful voice and such a broad career in music and singing. When she was a young girl, Joanne learned many tribal songs from her family

Oneida’s fault lied in the fact that is was easily targeted by critics as an excuse to bypass conventional monogamy.      Another example of a utopian experiment is the Mormons. The Mormons began when Joseph Smith published
