Oneida
The Oneida nation is one of the five original nations of the Iroquois Confederacy or Rotinonsionni (People of the Longhouse). The Oneida homeland lies between the Kanienkehaka and the Onondaga. The Oneidas and the Cayugas are the Younger Brothers of the Confederacy, who sit across the fire from the Elder Brothers, the Kanienkehaka (Mohawks) and the Senecas. The name Oneida is derived from Oneyoteaka, "People of the Erected Stone," a reference to a large boulder standing next to their principal town.
