The Best Land: Four Hundred Years of Love and Betrayal on Oneida

The Best Land: Four Hundred Years of Love and Betrayal on Oneida Territory Susan A. Brewer traces the history of a parcel of land in central New York and the stories of the two families---her own European settler family and the Mohawk/Oneida family of Polly Denny---who called it home. Her talk considers the struggle over this place in war and peace tales of pioneer progress and native dispossession. She explores how as neighbors for centuries these families experienced dramatic twists and turns over sovereignty justice and the land.
