Oneida people
After the American Revolutionary War, a number of Shinnecock left Long Island to join the Brothertown Indians in western New York, where the Oneida people gave them some land on their reservation. (By the mid-19th century the Shinnecock and Brothertown migrated to Wisconsin, pushed out of New York.) On Long Island, some Shinnecock intermarried with local colonists and African-American slaves, who worked on farms and as craftsmen. They often reared their children as Shinnecock, maintaining their identity and culture.
