c) Oneida Nation

The Oneida Nation, part of the Iroquois Confederacy, aligned courageously with the Colonists during the Revolution. This alliance was a significant deviation from the neutrality or British alignment of other Iroquois nations. The Oneida provided crucial support, including warriors and supplies, playing a key role in several battles. Their participation in the war demonstrated the complex allegiances among Native American tribes and the impact of the Revolution on indigenous peoples. The Oneida Nation’s alliance with the Colonists underscores the diverse and often overlooked contributions of Native Americans to the American Revolutionary cause.
