Description

Glimpses of Oneida Life is a remarkable compilation of modern stories of community life at the Oneida Nation of the Thames Settlement and the surrounding area. With topics ranging from work experiences and Oneida customs to pranks humorous encounters and ghost stories these fiftytwo unscripted narrations and conversations in Oneida represent a rare collection of firsthand Iroquoian reflections on aspects of daily life and culture not found in print elsewhere. Each text is presented in Oneida with both an interlinear wordbyword translation and a more colloquial translation in English. The book also contains a grammatical sketch of the Oneida language by Karin Michelson coauthor of the OneidaEnglishEnglishOneida Dictionary that describes how words are structured and combined into larger linguistic structures thus allowing Glimpses to be used as a teaching text as well. The engrossing tales in Glimpses of Oneida Life will be a valuable resource for linguists and language learners a useful source for those studying the history and culture of Iroquois people in the twentiethcentury and an entertaining read for anyone interested in everyday First Nations life in southern Ontario. show more
