The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin received a gift of wampum for its efforts to preserve tribal culture and language.
Members of the tribe accepted the wampum, which represents success, at a ceremony in New York. The Iroquois Confederacy recognized the tribe's proficiency in Oneida language and ceremonies.
The tribe uses gaming profits to fund its language and cultural programs.
