[edit]Lead
[edit]Mary Cornelius Winder (April 27th, 1898- June 11,1954[1]), was an indigenous land claim activist. Belonging to the the Oneida Nation, Mary Winder fought for the return of the Oneida People's right-full lands. The Treaty of Canandaigua, Signed in 1794, established that the Oneida People had rights to their own lands, rights that they eventually lost. [2] In an effort to re-claim those lands, Mary C. Winder wrote multiple letters to the US government, speaking out against the hardships that the oneida people faced, and the need for a homeland. [1] Mary C Winder had 11 biological children. [1]
