My husband Max Ireland , is hearing who is member of Bear Clan. We have five Oneida Deaf children and also fourteen grandchildren that include two great granddaughters. I work to revitalized Oneida Sign Language (OSL). I have been invited to speak and engage with First Nations, providing presentations and education. I provide education regarding First Nations Deaf peoples lived experiences and the work with Oneida Sign Language. I have also provided our Thanksgiving address in my language, Oneida Sign Language.
