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.
