The People and the leadership of the Oneida Indian Nation have identified three principal long-range goals to guide the community and economic development activities of the Nation and the administration and the leadership of the Nation.

The adopted long-range goals of the Oneida Nation are as follows:

• Help our Members achieve their highest potential in education, physical and mental health, and economic development;

• Implement the legal and administrative structure for the stability and protection of Nation sovereignty, treaty rights, and government to government relationships, and;

• Acquire, develop, and secure resources to achieve economic and social empowerment and self-sufficiency for the Oneida Indian Nation.

These long-range goals have been adopted by the Nation as a guide toward the accomplishment of a progressive dream. Simultaneously, the Nation plans to use the economic incentives available to a sovereign nation to inject new wealth and create jobs for the Oneida community and, significantly, the surrounding communities.
