Iroquois/Oneida Beaded Glengarry Bonnet

[Luke MacGillie]

Have you read Morgan's mid 19th Century work on the Iroquois?

Also "Lewis Henry Morgan on Iroquois Material Culture" is another good book that has some interesting 19th Century information regarding the adoption of a form of Kilt, as well as a glengarryish cap as part of the traditional dress of the people.

Luke, I haven’t yet read either of the two books you mention, so you’ve contributed to my growing library of work on the Oneida and Native Americans generally.

One of my parishioners, Gordy McLester, is an Oneida historian working on his 15th book (many co-written with Laurence Hauptmann of SUNY Oswego), so I got a good crash course when I came to the parish in late 2016.

Just finished an interesting book by Colin G. Calloway entitled White People, Indians, and Highlanders (Oxford 2008).

The textures of the thistle would lend itself well to bead work.

Calloway is one of my favorite authors. The chapter on the Mohawk/Lenape/Oneida village of Oquaga in his book “The American Revolution in Indian Country” would be worth a read. Especially to better understand events like the Cherry Valley “Massacre”. Oquaga was just down the river a bit from Cooperstown, near present day Bainbridge.
