Description: The Tutelo materials in the Frank Speck recording collection consist of one recording of counting, recorded with Ben Swallow at Six Nations of the Grand River in 1936. The recordings are identified in the original documentation as Tutelo, but may be Cayuga or Onondaga. Two other recordings in this collection previously identified Tutelo were identified in 2021 as Cayuga and designated as culturally sensitive by the community from which they originated.
