Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

It sounds like the Old English I’m hearing in the Learn Old English podcast (http://learnoldenglish.blogspot.com/), but unlike Old English I don’t recognize a single word!
I’m guessing an indigenous language of North America?
It sounds like an Iroquoian language. We surely must have had Mohawk and Cherokee before on these quizzes.
So I would go with one of the other Iroquoian languages like Oneida or Onondaga.
Navajo?
Seneca?
The answer is Tuscarora (Ska:rù:rę’), a North Iroquoian language spoken in Ontario in Canada, and in North Carolina and New York in the USA.
