It is official: According to the National Endowment for the Arts, the Oneida<br>
Hymn Singers are "national living treasures."<br>
<br>
The singers, members of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, perform<br>
Christian hymns a cappella in the Oneida language. With a repertoire of more<br>
than 100 songs, such as "Amazing Grace," "Jesus Loves Me," and "Abide With Me,"<br>
the Hymn Singers were scheduled to take the stage at the Music Center at<br>
Strathmore in Bethesda last night during the National Heritage Fellowships<br>
Concert.<br>
<br>
With 10 other groups or individuals, they are recipients of a 2008 NEA National<br>
Heritage Fellowship, the highest honor that the nation bestows on folk and<br>
traditional artists.<br>
