Zusammenfassung:An analysis of the Oneida Indian community of Wise, based on a field study; it is part of a larger study of Indian & Spanishspeaking communities in Wise, still in progress. The Oneida Indians came to Wise from New York in the 1820's. Their reservation, with a pop of about 1,600, overlaps the city of Green Bay. The reservation Oneida live on individually-owned, tribal or rented land. The young people tend to leave the community & find work elsewhere; they blame an anti-Indian bias of Green Bay employers. Although such a bias is denied by the State Employment Bur in Green Bay & a survey team hired by the Oneida community some 10 yrs ago failed to find signif evidence, the existence of anti-Indian prejudice has been affirmed by the Green Bay Voluntary Commission on Human Rights & by individual Oneidas, who go elsewhere for jobs. It is concluded that, in this situation, SD becomes the functional equivalent of territorial distance. (See also SA 0207/D7578.) I. Langnas.
