The Oneida elders provide a view of the past and a vision for the future. Their memories connect Oneidas of today with past generations. Their knowledge and wisdom offer valuable perspectives for future generations. Interviewers with the Oneida Elders Oral History Project have been collecting oral histories from the elders on tape. This online exhibit highlights the contents of the tapes, looking at the elders' memories of food, crafts, herbal cures, annuity cloth, and land claims.

We thank the elders who have worked with the project and have shared their knowledge and memories with us all.
