"The Oneida Creation Story" is the oldest tradition of the
"Onyota'aka" (People of the Standing Stone) and is one of the
greatest pieces of oral literature of Native North America. Ancient
elements of Iroquoian cosmology are the heart of the saga:
Sky-world, the fall of Sky-woman, the creation of Earth upon
Turtle's back, and the creation of mankind and early society by the
twins. Various versions have been passed down from generation to
generation, but the story has never before been published in the
Oneida language. "The Oneida Creation Story" makes this majestic
and beautiful story available in both Oneida and English for the
first time. This special bilingual edition also features earlier
translated versions of the Creation Story, a discussion of its
cultural and historical contexts by Oneida Indian historian Anthony
Wonderley, and lexicons cross-referenced to the story.
