Oneida Indian Nation

The Oneida Indian Nation will improve the management and long-term care of collections related to its archeological sites. The project team will catalog and digitize more than 5,500 documents, field maps, photographs, and slides of historical and cultural significance to the nation in order to preserve them for future generations. The project will provide nation leadership and members with access to materials that are important to sustaining the Oneida Indian Nation's heritage, culture, and knowledge. Appropriate materials may also be made available to scholars and the general public. This written and photographic documentation is all that exists to explain the provenance of many of the cultural materials that were removed from these archeological sites.
