Episode description
Members of the Oneida American Indian nation served as scouts, guides, and soldiers in New York during the Revolution, including critically in the Battle of Saratoga. They earned recognition from the Continental Congress for their support. Despite promises to protect their land and autonomy, colonists took over their lands after the end of the war, pushing the Oneidas onto reservations.
