The Tribe That Freed America


The Oneida Indian Nation made their mark on American history when they became the first ally to America as they joined the colonists in their fight for independence during the American Revolutionary War. But their victory over the British wasn’t such a win after all—it was actually the beginning of a nightmare. Who are the Oneidas, and what happened to them?

The Strangest Thing Archaeologists Have Ever Found In Every US State—Do You Know What They Found In Yours?

Most of America looks ordinary from the surface. But dig beneath a highway, drain a lake or crawl deep enough into the wrong cave, and that changes fast. Every state is hiding at least one archaeological discovery that should not be there, or should not have survived...but it is, and it did. And it's amazing.

TRAVEL TIPS

The train pass on my Europe trip worked between cities but never for the local trains I needed. Is their system too confusing for American tourists?

My Hotel Charged A Pet Fee After Listing Itself As Pet-Friendly. Should That Fee Have Been Disclosed Upfront?

Seeing "pet-friendly" beside a hotel can reasonably make travelers think their dog or cat is welcome. It does not necessarily mean bringing that animal costs nothing. Hotels may impose pet fees while still describing themselves as pet-friendly, but how and when those charges are disclosed matters.

My Tour Promised Hotel Pickup, Then Changed To A Meeting Point Across Town. Who Pays For The Taxi?

If the tour listing clearly said hotel pickup was included, that promise matters. Tour marketplaces regularly distinguish between hotel pickup and meeting at a central departure point, which shows that transportation can be a specific feature of the product rather than a meaningless detail. The first question is therefore whether pickup was actually included in your confirmed booking.
