Onondaga is a complex language with many sounds that are unlike the sounds in English. You can hear Onondaga being spoken [|here]. If you'd like to know a few easy Onondaga words, "sge:no" (pronounced similar to sgay-no) is a friendly greeting, and "nya:weh" (pronounced similar to nyah-wenh) means 'thank you.' **

Originally the Onondaga tribe used dogs as pack animals. (There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe.) In wintertime, the Onondagas used laced snowshoes and sleds to travel through the snow. ||

I do not believe that their houses were suitable for the environment because they don't have that much shelter and there homes are made out of tree bark and worn out branches. (Joseph)

**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica;">The Onondaga people lived in villages of //longhouses//, which were large wood-frame buildings covered with sheets of elm bark. These longhouses were up to a hundred feet long, and each one housed an entire clan (as many as 60 people.) Today, longhouses are only used for ceremonial purposes. The Onondagas live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you. (Kieyya) **
