Chief Oskanondohna and an Oneida woman named Polly Cooper and, of course, General Washington.
"During the Revolutionary War, Gen. George Washington asserted that “[t]he Oneidas have manifested the strongest attachment to us throughout the dispute."
That's good enough for me.
The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list...
Another reason why their PC status makes no sense...
White guys living in trailer courts and log cabins run us a close second.
Even when they're filing lawsuits against the county and state?
They are just going to use profits from this movie to try to steal land from white people in upstate New York.
Onneioutronnon PING!
The Oneida had decided long before to join Western civilization and had allowed European people (mostly American settlers) to come into their lands and farm, create industry, manufacture rifles, etc.
Good project. It sounds like a movie I would like to see. Not a lot of those these days.
Poor suckers.
If they’ve got ten million dollars to spend, how about sending 100 Oneida tribe members to Ivy League schools at a 100 g’s each? Because they have virtually no chance of seeing a return on this movie. Ever. That’s the movie business.
I decide to build a ten million dollar car dealership, even though I can’t change a fan belt. I’ve never worked at a body shop or a dealership or even a car wash. But I like cars! I drive one, don’t I?!
You know who’s going to make money off this? Sid Ganis.
This is nice and interesting.
It’s been so long since I read some of the RevWar histories, but I wonder if this was the tribe (it was definitely in mid-upstate NY) whose chieftain called the American general in command up there “a coward” because he would not press on and go after the British. LOL! I can’t remember which general it was, either - Herkimer, van Renssalaer, or another of those Dutch/German types up there in NY.
