 The Oneida Indian Tribe of Wisconsin
This group of 448 Oneida Indians were Christian, and became known as the First Christian Party.
The contributions of the Oneida in early U.S. history have been largely ignored in history books, possibly because much of the history of the Revolutionary War was compiled in the 1830s at a time when the Indian nations were being "resettled" under the barbaric Indian Removal Act.
The Oneida agreed with the Menominee and Winnebago nations that all three nations could use the land.

 Oneida Indian Tribe History

Chauchetiere (letter in Jesuit Relations, Thwaites ed., lxii, 185, 1900) says that "war is blazing in the country of the Outaouaks," that the Iroquois, especially the Oneida, continued their hatred of the Outagami (Foxes) and the Illinois, and so have slain and captured many Illinois.
on the Potomac, chiefly by the warriors of the Oneida, the Cayuga, and the Seneca, and those tribes which had submitted to Iroquois rule, a question arose as to the propriety of the Mohawk, who had not given any aid in subduing these peoples, sharing in the income arising from land sales there.
