14,500?
Most of the modern Oneidas live in two widely separated reservation communities, about 3,000 on the Thames River near London, Ontario, and 11,000 at Green Bay, Wisconsin. In addition, a few hundred Oneidas continue to live in upstate New York, some on a small tract of land near the town of Oneida, and others dispersed into neighboring white and Indian communities. There are about 200 fluent speakers of Oneida in Ontario and perhaps a dozen in Wisconsin; there are no reliable estimates for the New York Oneidas.
