Master Speakers

The Master Speakers are an integral part of the program at Oneida Language and Cultural Centre.  As seasoned mother tongue speakers, they provide accurate Oneida Language input and recorded pronunciation of the target phrases in our curricula. Their shared lived experience also contributes to the production of culturally authentic stories and anecdotes that are documented in our media resources.  The Master Speakers have rolled out a succession plan to ensure that there are proficient Oneida speakers to sit around our table for years to come.

Please note: Oneida viewers/users are advised that the content of this website may contain images and voices of persons who are no longer with us.
