Teyuhuhtakweku (Marsha) I am from Oneida Nation and Turtle Clan. I am Oneida. I am a Deaf, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. 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. I consider myself an advocate and educator. Some people called me their elder. I work for our future generations, so their lives may be better than ours.
