Oneida Language & Culture

Shekóli! Hello!

In the Oneida Language and Culture classroom we work with latiksaɂshúha (the children) every day through song, pictures and hands-on activities to learn: 

• Sound system, numbers, colors, animals, foods 

• Clan systems, Ceremonies, Conversational skills 

• Basic introductions, greetings, and Oneida history 

• Grammar and sentence structures with vocabulary 

We send Oneida language materials home so that students can work on building language skills together with family members and the wider community. 

Yawʌɂkó•,
