The Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin is a federally recognized Native American tribe that is part of the Iroquois Confederacy. The tribe's history dates back to the 18th century when they were one of the original five nations of the Iroquois. The Oneida people originally inhabited areas in New York, but due to various pressures, including land treaties and wars, many members relocated to Wisconsin in the 19th century. The tribe has since established a strong presence in Wisconsin, where they focus on preserving their cultural heritage and providing services to their members. Their mission includes promoting economic development, education, and health services for the tribe and its members, while also advocating for their rights and sovereignty as a Native American nation.
