Government
The Oneidas have approximately 1,000 enrolled Members, about half of whom live in Central New York. Each clan chooses representatives for the Oneida’s governing body known as the Council. According to tradition, male council members are responsible for daily decisions while Clan Mothers make long-term decisions. Tradition also requires Nation leaders and Members to consider the impact on the next seven generations when making decisions.
The Oneidas are headed by a federally recognized Representative – Ray Halbritter (Wolf Clan). The Oneida Nation Council Members are: Turtle Clan Beulah Green, Clan Mother Dale Rood Clint Hill Wolf Clan Ray Halbritter, Nation Representative Chuck Fougnier Keller George Bear Clan Brian Patterson Pete John Nation Clerk Kim Jacobs (Wolf Clan) Most PopularInformation, photos, video or graphics from www.OneidaIndianNation.com may not be republished, uploaded, posted or distributed in any way without the prior approval of Oneida Indian Nation Communications.
