...What's the contrast between the Shakers and the Oneidas? More like what are the similitudes between them, assuming any…? It is truly unusual to see these two gatherings that were conformed to a similar time did not last a similar measure of time. In spite of the fact that there are 3 Shakers left today, the Oneida people group has for quite some time been wiped out for over 100 years! Oneida Community was a radical idealistic group built up in New York, in which complex marriage (free love), male consistence (a type of contraception), and controlled reproducing to make another prevalent era, were all honed. the group went on for more than thirty years since artisans made propelled steel traps and the Oneida Community Plate (made of silver), while the Shaker people group were a millennial gathering who put stock in both Jesus and a spiritualist named Ann Lee. Since they were chaste and could just build their numbers through enrollment and transformation, they in the long run stopped to exist....

...Noyes founded a community that’s primary goal was to create, in a sense, heaven on earth; the Oneida Community. This community did indeed have good intentions for reaching this goal in life, but it is merely the means of how they attempted to reach this goal that are non-practical and lose focus on the essence of family. The founder and leader, Noyes, believed that he himself possessed divine authority over the Oneida Community, which was directly given to him by God. This belief of his was not only of Noyes, but was truly shared among all the members of the community, which allowed for his rules to be followed without question or concern. These unique “rules” included the process of mutual criticism, being granted by Noyes and only Noyes to give birth to a child, the required form of birth control: coitus reservatus, communal living, gender equality, and the practice of complex marriage. By actually visiting the Oneida Mansion where the community resided during most of the 1800’s, I was able to obtain as close as a first-hand experience as I possibly could by taking a tour of the Mansion accompanied by tour guides that were well-educated on the topic and readily answered the questions that I had. Through visiting their former residence and reading Without Sin: The Life and Death of the Oneida Community, one would be able to determine which perspectives and policies of the Oneida Community were strong or weak, and whether or not it would be practical to adopt these perspectives...

...The Native American tribe I chose was the Oneida tribe. The artifact I chose is a cornhusk doll. I chose this artifact because it looked very creative yet original. The Iroquois Native Americans are a confederacy meaning a group or association of people in Northeastern United States originally formed from the Oneida, Seneca, Mohawk, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Tuscarora. I chose the tribe the Oneida tribe. The Oneida tribe was actually the league of clans in their own language. They are in Upstate New York, exactly near the Great Lakes. Many of the people in the Oneida tribe serve in the military. Their tribe name comes from word for themselves, which means "people oft eh standing stone”. Their tribe originally lived in New York State, but many...

...Victoria Watson Feb 2010 “Inadaptable” The divide between the medieval and modern worlds is centered on the concept that each individual culture has a diverse moral code. The modern idea is that the individual man can change and adapt to integrate the world of today. Personally, my outlook is that morals codes are pointless if they are susceptible to adaptability. My strongest moral codes center on modesty, independence, and loyalty. The Oneida Community, founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848, taught that he and his followers had undergone sanctification and it was impossible for them to sin, because of that sanctified marriage was abolished as an expression of jealousy and exclusiveness. The Oneida commune lived together as a single large group and allowed any given male-female combination in the group to have sex. Not only does the idea of this repulse me but it is completely against everything I believe about marriage and devotion. When (and if) I get married, my morals dictate that I will remain loyal to my husband never cheating physically or emotionally. In the Islamic culture women are treated as subordinate to men in everyway. Women are only allowed to show their face and hands and their clothing must hang so loose that no shape of the body is visible. Women may also not wear clothing that is distracting or is considered bold. They are required to dress this way similar to the way that children cannot disobey the dress requirements of their parents...

...The 19th century had several utopias practicing their own beliefs, but none as radical and restrictive than the Oneida community. While the Oneida community had several flaws, the Oneida community did not follow the traditional treatment of women during that time period. Since women did not receive the right to vote until 1920 and this community was founded in 1848, it showed how ahead of its time the Oneida Community was. Women in this community were not forcefully domesticized, but due to lack of effort and education in other forms of work, they usually worked in unskilled positions, which were rotated with the other unskilled workers. This suppressed many options the community members could hold from working outside the community. Even though women were not given a fair opportunity to rise above the common working positions for women during that time; women could still strive and work towards more. Women and men were supposed to be on an equal footing for working positions within the community,...

...connection between our neurons needs to be adjusted. When they adjust, they create a cluster of cells known as engrams. Engrams are basically memory traces. The engram creates a specific code, taking note of the scenery you are surrounded by. Most often, they take note of what your body senses - things you touch, smell, hear, see, and taste. That code is now the memory that will ignite in the future. The simple smell in the air, or a specific sound that occurs can bring somebody back to a place that holds value in their mind. You could hear a song and be brought back to a time in your life when that song was important at some moment. Memories are often stored in the brain because of the senses that we as humans have. In “The Longhouse, Oneida Museum” by Roberta Hill, it is apparent that she remembers the Longhouse because of sensory details....

...Sabrina Childers Andy Tigert Intro to Diversity Studies January 13, 2016 The Oneida Nation My great grandfather, who we call “Grandpa Indian,” was fifty percent Oneida. In turn, my grandmother is a quarter and she is the last generation of the family to receive benefits from the tribe. My mother being an eighth, and I a sixteenth, means that we do not possess enough Oneida blood to be eligible for the benefits but I still consider it to be a big part of my ancestry because it is all I really know about it, even if it does not make up a lot of my heritage.

As the last beat rang, he froze his body in the stance of a warrior, posing as still as he had before the song began. His chest heaved and sweat poured down his broad, smiling face. I joined my family and the crowd in cheering for him, proud to be his niece. Dancers like him and moments like these are what keep our culture alive. This is why I love the Fourth of July. This is why I love Pow Wow. Oneida, Wisconsin has long been the grounds for the Fourth of July Pow Wow.

The Shakers were economically blossoming, and the first to advertise vegetable and flower seeds and herbal medicines. Another group is the Oneida group founded in 1848 in upstate New York by John Humphrey Noyes. Noyes was known to preach that he along with his followers were so perfect they became “purity of heart”. They formed a small community in 1836 in Vermont. Some of the Oneida’s beliefs were: a. The Oneidas like the shakers also did away with traditional marriage and private properties b. Noyes taught the importance of forming a single “holy family” of equals c. Noyes community was known for complex marriage’s which means any man could suggest sexual relations with any woman, who could either accept or decline the proposal.

...Natives and Explorers In this day, we often wonder why study Native American literature? Could it be because we instinctively feel it is because they were the first settlers of America? I will be explaining why Native American literature is America through history of the Native Americans and through literature written by the Native Americans. It is to be believed that the history of North America initiated when the ancestors of Native Americans made their way across a bridge that was once from the Bering Sea and connected Asia to North America. Native Americans believe that their ancestors originated in America and oral accounts of their foundation have been passed down from generation to generation. The Native Americans were very useful with using natural resources and adjusted well to the climate changes of where they lived. They for example, used wood that was collecting in the forest to build houses, boats, and tools. They utilized all of their natural resources including animal hide, bone as well as many other resources to sustain their way of life. Their diet depended on primarily on hunting and was supplemented with farming. When the European explorers began to reach their destination of the land the Native Americans have settled on, they were faced with new challenges. These challenges had some Native Americans coexisting with Europeans and trading and adapting to the new technologies the Europeans had to offer. This was a difficult concept...

...Iroquois Tina Mack Ashford University ANT234 Nadia Khrais May 12, 2014 Iroquois When we think of Indians we think of tepees, bow and arrows, and free roaming hunters. Iroquois were different they lived in longhouses and farmed. They were different in other ways as will. This paper will try to describe the way the Iroquois lived and suffered. The Iroquois lived in longhouses that were made of young saplings lashed together with strips of bark. The frame work was then covered with large sheets of bark, probable from the young sapling used for the frame work. The longhouse was usually twenty feet wide, twenty feet high, and ranged from sixty to two hundred twenty feet long. “The length of a longhouse was determined by the size of the extended family for which it would serve as a home. The interior of the longhouse was divided into a series of compartments or apartments about 20 feet long. Each compartment was the home of two families. Each family shared a fire for heating, cooking, and light, with the family that lived across the central aisle or corridor. This aisle ran the length of the longhouse from end to end, door to door. A longhouse, 220 feet long, could be the home of 18 families, or about 90 people; a longhouse of 60 feet might serve as the home of four families or 20 people. The longest longhouse known from archeological excavations was 400 feet long and was probably the home of about 36 families, or 180 people.” (Alliance,website viewed...

...unhappy about leaving his wife, so the stranger told him to bottle up his wife. Self interest over compassion. In the folktale “The Tinker and The Ghost”, Esteban dared to sleep in the castle on All Hallow Eve’s. If he were to complete his task the owner of the castle would give him a thousand gold reales. While he was eating, Esteban heard a voice from the chimney which said “oh me! “ The ghost wanted someone to stay in the castle so he can get his body back. He also wanted Esteban to give the copper coins to the church, the silver coins to the poor, and keep the gold coins for himself. When one is selfless the community values itself. In the folktale “The Warrior Maiden”, there was a young girl named Aliquipiso who was part of the Oneida people and wasn’t afraid to give up her life for people. Her job was to save her tribe from their enemies the Mingoes. During the night the warrior chief came and asked her to show him where her people were hiding. If she refused, she would be tortured. Aliquipso’s great courage and self sacrifice was retold wherever Oneida’s sat around the campfire. In several folktales there is a portrayal of community life in the folktales “Women”, “The Tinker and The Ghost”, and “The Warrior...
