I am collecting info about Less Commonly Taught Languages in the US and
Canada, and I suppose Oneida counts :{)

If you could send me a brochure or other info about your teaching, and any
other institutions / names of Oneida teachers, I would appreciate it, and
make it available in my database.

I see in one listing I have from the Linguistic Society of America that
Oneida is taught at W. Onterio and U of Wisc-Green Bay. Are you at one of
these schools? Or do you know the people there?

Thanks for the info and good luck.
