Offered as part of the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections, the Wisconsin Oneida Language Preservation Project brings together original stories and curriculum with accompanying audio that teaches the Wisconsin Oneida language. Visitors can start by clicking on the About area to learn more about these unique items. The materials here are divided into curriculum levels (grades kindergarten through sixth) and include some songs as well. One unique feature happens to be the stories about Oneida culture collected as part of the Works Progress Administration project in the late 1930s and early 1940s. As this particular language is in steep decline, this project is an integral part of keeping these words, traditions, syntaxes, and so on alive for future generations.
