Brotherton Tribe
The Brotherton Indians comprised two distinct bands of Algonquian tribes. The more prominent band formed in 1788 from Mahican, Wappinger, Mohegan, and others in Oneida County, New York, under the leadership of Samson Occum. They adopted English and numbered 250 in 1791 before relocating to Wisconsin in 1833, where they assimilated as citizens. The second band included Raritan and other Delaware factions who occupied a New Jersey reservation until 1802 before joining the first band in New York, eventually dwindling to about 40 individuals.
