Oneida Language Project

UW-Green Bay Prof. Cliff Abbott and Maria Hinton, an Oneida elder, are working together to preserve the disappearing Oneida language. Hinton, a native Oneida speaker, is pronouncing all of the words in the Oneida dictionary. Abbott is putting her voice into an online Oneida dictionary so people can read the word and hear the correct pronunciation.

awesome... my grandfather never taught me the language, sad story as to why, but bottom line he didn't so this is perfect.
