Oneida Sign Language (OSL) is a revived language with roots in Hand Talk mixed with American Sign Language and the oral Oneida language. It was built beginning in 2016 alongside Elder Olive Elm by Marsha and Max Ireland, Deaf Elder in the Turtle and Bear Clans, respectively, of the Oneida Nation of the Thames.[1][2][3]
