In this episode of The American Revolution: How Colonies Defeated an Empire, Lucas and Luna explore the crucial role of the Oneida Indian Nation, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. While many Iroquois nations allied with the British, the Oneidas sided with the American revolutionaries, providing warriors, scouts, and food during the harsh winter at Valley Forge. Learn about key figures like Chief Skenandoah and interpreter James Dean, the internal divisions that split the Confederacy, and the forgotten story of the Oneidas' sacrifice at the Battle of Oriskany. Discover how their alliance shaped the outcome of the war and why their contributions have been largely overlooked in mainstream narratives. This episode also examines the aftermath: the loss of ancestral lands, the erosion of sovereignty, and the enduring legacy of a nation that chose the underdog and paid a heavy price. #Oneida #Haudenosaunee #Iroquois #AmericanRevolution #SixNations #Skenandoah #PollyCooper #JamesDean #BattleOfOriskany #ValleyForge #NativeAmericanHistory #ForgottenAllies #NewYorkHistory #ColonialAmerica #RevolutionaryWar #History #FexingoHistory #IndigenousHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
