Skaˀnikú·lat, Inc. envisions a future where, within three generations, every family member - from grandparents to children - are speakers of the Oneida language, embodying our traditional knowledge, cultural values, and traditions. Our community will thrive with the ongoing existence of holistic healing, wellness, and prosperity. There will be a resurgence of matriarchal leadership, the return of clan structures, and a robust self-sufficient economy built on our heritage and unity.
