The American Indian

Museum

Architecture designed to

resemble a pueblo dwelling.

This work honors the bonds of friendship that were forged between

the Oneida Indian Nation and the fledgling US during the American

Revolution. Oneidas fought alongside the colonists in many key battles and

helped sustain American soldiers during the darkest hours of the

Revolutionary War. In the winter of 1777-78, a group of Oneida walked more than 400 miles from Oneida

Territory, in what is now central New York, to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania,

carrying corn to feed starving soldiers.
