Tuscarora Indians are to america what palestinians are to Israel.
Mexicans are to America what palestinians are to Israel.
Sorry. This is OUR COUNTRY. We Won. You cant have it. Sue all you want.
PS. stay out of the liquor too.
They had adopted MOST of the TUSCARORA by the time the American Revolution rolled around.
The ONEIDA were American allies. Their losses were tremendous. In fact, there were so many people killed in direct combat or by British depredations conducted against civilian ONEIDA that the ancient link of family lineage was broken.
Most ONEIDA descendants today have absolutely no idea that they have any ONEIDA ancestors. (Our own seems to be a BROTHERTON woman adopted into the ONEIDA some time after the plagues in the late 1840s)
Compounding the problem the State of New York, in violation of the Non Intercourse Act, decided about 1815 that the ONEIDA were actually white people. Following that decision they then confiscated their lands.
So, next time you get that feeling that "Hey, it's ours, we won", remember that after "we won", "you stole"!
Let me correct that - not 1840s, but 1640s. I'm not sure the Brotherton were called that at the time. This is a group in New York and Connecticut who consciously decided to adopt European ways of life.
I don't normally hit abuse, but I am seriously considering it in this instance.
I do partake of the firewater on occasion, though.
