Possibly New York Traveler. net has researched to the best of their ability but that does not mean it is thorough. Oneidas went to Wisconsin, and to Ontario, Canada not exactly "leaving" their ancestral lands but rather travelling to the outer edges...to which was considered, our vast hunting grounds. Never, ever, did my ancestors believe that they had left forever nor did they never expect not to return. Our lands and people were in turmoil, and my ancestors chose to remove their families from that for their safety. Only the "governments of New York State, the United States and Ray Halbrieter" consider that any Oneida located away from our ancestral lands in New York is not Oneida. Ray Halbrieter is a self-annointed "chief' or "Leader" of the people remaining at Oneida, New York and holds no true hereditary title of any sort......ALL those truly hereditary titles travelled with the truly traditional people, northward...to Oneida...north of Lake Erie, outside of what is known as London, Ontario. So please, research some more and find out how greed and the oppression by a self-annointed "leader" has truly affected the people of Oneida presently living at Oneida New York....and find out what happened to those who stood up to Ray and about "his decision" to remove and ban them from the community with his goons. Also, think about this; if he was truly a "leader or chief" of any sort....would he not live with his people, support and cherish all of his people, and be respected by all Oneidas who do not reside in New York state? How can one respect a man who has sold out his people and their hereditary lands for "casino dollars" that only he and a few cronies benefit from? Check out his "true" living quarters.....high on a hill, with gates and guns between the road and he. My, my, my, what a tangled web he weaves. A museum....so he can "justify" employing only his supporters and relatives. What of the others!!!! My comments are for the general public.

There is a lot we don't know about the Indians of North America, because they didn't write anything down. It's like an investigation! I like studying ancient cultures.
