Today in Labor History September 1, 1880: The utopian communistic Oneida Community ended after 32 years. The Community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes and his followers in 1848 near Oneida, New York. They believed that Jesus had already returned in AD 70, allowing them to bring about Jesus's millennial kingdom themselves. The Community practiced communalism (holding all property and possessions in common). They also practiced complex marriage, where 3 or more people could enter into the same marriage, and male sexual continence, where the male’s goal was to not ejaculate during sex. They were also one of the first groups in the U.S. to practice mutual criticism, to root out bad characteristics in people, something adopted by many later cults, and even by Cesar Chavez and the UFW under his leadership.

The Oneida Community has been portrayed in numerous works of fiction such as “Silken Strands,” by Rebecca May Hope (2019). “Assassination Vacation,” by Sarah Vowell (2005) and “Pagan House,” by David Flusfeder (2007).

I live in the "Burned Over District" of New York State which is a place where numerous cults have originated. One of the more fascinating ones is the Oneida cult and this article is a nice summery of it. #oneida #cult

"Tribally owned Wáhta’ Maple Farm will produce and market organic maple syrup in various flavor profiles. The company will harvest sap from trees on #Oneida Nation lands.

"With the new venture, the tribe aims to showcase #sustainable practices that honor the significance of maple trees and sap in #Haudenosaunee (#Iroquois) culture..."

Realized I should add a hashtag

Thanks @urbanmicrofarmer, great to see this happening

I'd love to see more #rematriation of culture and repatriation of lands for the #Oneida Nation and others back here in New York. Perhaps a topic of future posts...

From your avatar I assume you have an interest in indigenous corn... Dr. Jane Mt. Pleasant (#Tuscarora), who I mention in my post, wrote this freely accessible book on #Iroquois Corn (made available through my collection building efforts while at Cornell):

Something about Mondays: another great morning on the farm, harvesting plum and cherry tomatoes, kohlrabi, cleaning onions and squash, talking cooperation and relationships, making little videos. I had the pleasure of introducing Jay to the dub poetry of #LKJ and the complex marriage of the #Oneida Community. And this afternoon a great co-op development conversation with the operator of a hair salon.
