About
Chester Poe Cornelius ("Geyna") (September 7, 1869 – November 30, 1933) was an Oneida lawyer, scholar, activist and visionary. Cornelius, a descendent of distinguished Oneida leaders, collaborated with his sister Laura Cornelius Kellogg and her visionary "Lolomi Plan," a Progressive Era alternative to Bureau of Indian Affairs control, and presaged subsequent 20th-century movements to hold the federal government accountable to American Indians to preserve culture and communal lands in a protective sovereignty, to institute tribal self-government, and reclaim communal lands and promote economic development. Cornelius, a chief of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, devoted much of his time to national Indian affairs and tribal organizations in the State of Oklahoma.
