In "The Best Land: Four Hundred Years of Love and Betrayal on Oneida Territory," Susan A. Brewer traces the history of a parcel of land in central New York and the stories of the two families---her own European settler family and the Mohawk/Oneida family of Polly Denny---who called it home. Her talk considers the struggle over land, tales of pioneer progress, and native dispossession. Although these two families lived as neighbors for centuries, they clashed over beliefs and practices regarding the land and its forests, streams, and soils.
