About the Oneida Indian Nation
The Oneida Indian Nation is a federally recognized Indian nation in Central New York. A founding member of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (also known as the Six Nations or Iroquois Confederacy), the Oneida Indian Nation sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War and was thanked by Congress and President George Washington for its loyalty and assistance. Today the Nation’s enterprises employ more than 5,000 people. Proceeds from these enterprises are used to rebuild the Nation’s economic base and provide essential services, including housing, health care, and education incentives and programs, to its Members.
Resilience, tradition, and seven-generation governance
The Nation has achieved a significant economic rebirth in its Central New York homelands. Fundamental to Nation identity is a commitment to preserving cultural heritage, including the legends, lore, and traditional beliefs that honor the Creator’s gifts.
