Members of the Oneida Nation Council were recently in Washington, D.C. to make another $1 million installment to the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI).
Eight years ago, the Nation pledged $10 million--to be given over ten years. The Nation’s exhibit at NMAI, ''Allies in War, Partners in Peace,'' is a bronze statue that sits on the fourth floor of the museum and depicts the friendship forged during the Revolutionary War between the Oneida Nation and the United States. The 19-foot, 2,200 lb. statue, designed by noted Utah-based sculptor Edward Hlavka, represents Oneida Chief Shenendoah and an Oneida woman, Polly Cooper, along with Gen. George Washington.
