Eileen, a fluent first language speaker and elder, speaks and records the Onöndowa'ga:' language as she learned it from her grandmother, several generations ago before the building of the Kinzua Dam in the 1960s. This tragic treaty violation accelerated language loss by breaking up almost two century old communities at Ohi:yonö' (Allegany Territory residents, Lit. people of the Ohi:yo׳) of the Onöndowa'ga:'.

This publication should be in every library for students of the Onöndowa'ga:' Gawë:nö׳ (Language of the People of the Great Hills).
