Oneida Indian Nation
The Oneida Indian Nation is a federally recognized Indian nation in Central New York.  It is a member of the Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-so-nee), known in English as the Six Nations or Iroquois Confederacy.  The Oneida Nation is composed of approximately 1,000 enrolled Members, about half of whom live in central New York.  The Nation operates a variety of businesses to fund its government programs including golf, hotel, casino, media and more, creating tremendous economic impact on the region.  Proceeds from the Nation’s enterprises fund essential services for Members including health, housing, education and infrastructure improvements. The success of their enterprises also allows the Nation’s government to reduce its reliance on outside funding.  In 1999, the Oneida Nation became the first Indian government in the country to return federal funding to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.  Visit www.oneida-nation.net for more information.
