Oneida Revolutionary War The Oneida Nation is one of the Six Nations Confederacy. During the winter of 1777-78, the Oneida sent 50 men to serve with Washington’s army at Valley Forge. The Oneida’s were on the side with the Americans during to Revolutionary War. Samuel Kirkland became the Oneida’s missionary in 1766, and spent much of the rest of his life with them. In fact, it was the Oneida themselves who were among the first to urge that the ruinous Ft. Stanwix be reoccupied. From 1777 into early 1778, the Oneida were able to give the largest amount of physical support to the war.
