Google says they were produced between 1991 and 2003, so it checks out. I've also confirmed the "Community Stainless" stamp on the back for authenticity. She's a genuine Oneida Cantata.
Oneida: a member of an Indigenous people originally inhabiting what is now upper New York State, one of the five peoples comprising the original Iroquois confederacy.
Cantata: a medium-length narrative piece of music for voices with instrumental accompainment, typically with solos, chorus, and orchestra.
