Turtle, Wolf and Bear Clans of the Oneida Indian Nation. The Clans Of The Oneida NationTurtle, Wolf and BearThe Oneidas are a matrilineal society – clan and Nation Membership all come from the mother. The Oneidas have three clans – turtle, wolf, and bear. • Turtles teach patience and the importance of never giving up. Turtles are seen as strength and solidarity, old and wise, and are well respected. • The wolf teaches the importance of using your ears and being watchful. They embody a strong sense of family. • Bears are gentle and strong. Bears show that it takes more strength to NOT raise your hand to strike, compared to the impulse to strike.
