Oneyana

Peter Otsiquette, an educated Oneida chief, signed the treaty of 1788 and was part of the 1792 delegation to Philadelphia, where he died and was honored. Oneyana, also known as Beech Tree, was another significant chief at the treaties of 1785 and 1788, influential until his probable death before 1795. Scarouady, or Half-King, emerged in the mid-18th century as a prominent leader, advocating for peace and supporting English colonists while opposing the French, noted for his oratory skills at various conferences.
