Mrs. Kirkland visited the wigwams and instructed the women and children, who in turn flocked to her forest house. The women and children of the tribe were her chosen pupils. Seated in circles on the greensward beneath the spreading arches of giant oaks and maples, they listened to her teachings. She taught the women and children and by her example and patient work brought about a changed condition among these people. She prayed for them in the Oneida language.
