The Oneida people (/oʊˈnaɪdə/ ⓘ oh-NY-də; autonym: Onʌyoteˀa·ká·, Onyotaʼa:ka, the People of the Standing Stone) are a Native American tribe and First Nations band. They are one of the five founding nations of the Iroquois Confederacy in the area of upstate New York, particularly near the Great Lakes and around Oneida Lake and Oneida County.
The Oneida have two federally recognized tribes in the United States: the Oneida Indian Nation in New York, and the Oneida Nation in and around Green Bay, Wisconsin. In Canada the two Oneida First Nations are both located in Ontario: the Six Nations of the Grand River, and the Oneida Nation of the Thames in Southwold.
