Doug Metoxen Kiel, an Oneida Nation tribal member, has released his first book titled 'Unsettling Territory: The Resurgence of the Oneida Nation in the Face of Settler Backlash.' This academic text delves into the complex history of the Oneida Nation's land relations in Wisconsin, addressing misconceptions and historical inaccuracies that have persisted over the years. Kiel's research is informed by both his family history and extensive academic study, providing a unique perspective on the Oneida's journey and struggles. The book opens with Kiel's grandmother's experiences, illustrating the economic transformations that have influenced the tribe's movements over the decades. Notably, the Oneida Nation's land ownership has grown from less than 2% in 1910 to 45% today, a change that has sparked local tensions, particularly with the municipality of Hobart. Kiel emphasizes the importance of understanding the Oneida's layered history, which includes their loyalty during the American Revolution and their ongoing negotiations for sovereignty and land rights. The book aims to foster a better understanding of the Oneida Nation's contributions to the local economy and their vision for future land stewardship, contrasting with the interests of local municipalities. Kiel hopes that readers will gain insight into the historical and contemporary challenges faced by the Oneida Nation, as well as their resilience and resurgence in the face of adversity.
