The People of the Standing Stone

"The People of the Standing Stone features sound scholarship and a well-crafted narrative. A useful contribution to Iroquoian studies, it also offers an excellent case study in the experience of northeastern Indians from the era of the American Revolution to Indian Removal."—Timothy J. Shannon, author of Iroquois Diplomacy on the Early American Frontier

"The author presents the Oneida as a people who have weathered the changes that came with expanding European colonization. . . . Rather than conclude the story with removal, Tiro traces out incredible stories of how the Oneida survived during this period of diaspora, illustrating the Oneida refusal to simply disappear. Highly recommended."—Choice

"Tiro's analyses of specific areas of interest, such as the reasons why the Oneida departed in different directions in the 1830 and 1840s, provide thought-provoking insight. . . . Tiro succeeds in providing a very readable account of a tumultuous century for the Oneidas."—Journal of American History

"Traces the Oneidas' struggles with the American Revolution and its aftermath. . . . Tiro sees the Oneidas as important actors in this dark chapter in their history without denying that American colonialism put serious restrictions on their options. Tiro is to be applauded for this balance and nuance"—Journal of the Early Republic

"Karim M. Tiro presents a laser-focused history of the colonial-to-federal shattering of the Oneidas. I wholeheartedly recommend this first-rate work on Oneida-U.S. history."—American Historical Review

"This book is a substantial achievement that will find an important place on the shelves of all scholars of eastern North American first peoples. . . . Many scholars will regard this study as the work of first resort in understanding post-Revolutionaary Oneida history."—Ontario History
