Oneida Nation

 My second tour today...I loved it!  Visited the Oneida Community Library of the Oneida Nation.

 

The native artwork was so unique.  Everything thing has a meaning, every symbol, every animal, everything has a story to tell.  

 

This woodcarving was located outside the library building. 

 

Inside the library, a group of Oneida women were working on their bead work.  I enjoyed chatting with the ladies and asking about their beautiful bead work.  The ladies meet once a week.    

 

 These beading pieces were made for a woman's hair Barrett and sold at the local Oneida museum.

 

Throughout the library was Native American artwork.

 

How nice is this?  Someone on the Oneida library staff made authentic corn soup for us to sample.  They even had Indian Fry bread for us.  Really enjoyed myself and the Oneida culture.

Full day of library sessions and one board meeting to attend tonight.  Looking forward to arriving home later tomorrow.....home sweet home!
