The Oneida Indians, already weakened by their participation in the
Civil War, faced the possibility of losing their reservation -
their community's greatest crisis since its resettlement in
Wisconsin after the War of 1812. The Oneida Indians in the Age of
Allotment, 1860-1920 is the first comprehensive study of how the
Oneida Indians of Wisconsin were affected by the Dawes General
Allotment Act of 1887, the Burke Act of 1906, and the Federal
Competency Commission, created in 1917. Editors Laurence M.
Hauptman and L. Gordon McLester III draw on the expertise of
historians, anthropologists, and archivists, as well as tribal
attorneys, educators, and elders to clarify the little-understood
transformation of the Oneida reservation during this era.Sixteen
WPA narratives included in this volume tell of Oneida struggles
during the Civil War and in boarding schools; of reservation
leaders; and of land loss and other hardships under allotment. This
book represents a unique collaborative effort between one Native
American community and academics to present a detailed picture of
the Oneida Indian past.
