Summary

This resolution establishes the Oneida Elder Interview Program as an approved program of the

Nation in accordance with the Oneida General Welfare law for the purpose of collecting an oral

history of their generation, the Oneida Nation, Oneida Reservation, and their families and fellow

members in an effort to enrich the general welfare of every member of the Nation by recording the

Nation’s history, culture, tradition, and unique way of life for generations to come. Assistance is

provided to elders who participate in the Oneida Elder Interview Program to ensure that the general

welfare needs of the elders are met while participating in the Oneida Elder Interview Program.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: July 21, 2022

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

The Oneida General Welfare law was adopted by the Oneida Business Committee through

resolution BC-12-08-21-A for the purpose of governing how the Nation provides assistance to

eligible members, on a non-taxable basis, through approved programs that promote the general

welfare of the Nation pursuant to the principles of the General Welfare Exclusion. [10 O.C.

1001.1-1, 1001.1-2]. The Nation may provide benefits to recipients, which are excludable from

the gross income of those recipients, under an approved program for the promotion of the general

welfare of the Nation as long as the assistance:

▪ satisfies the requirements for exclusion under 26 U.S.C. §139E;

▪ is provided under a Safe Harbor Program listed and detailed in I.R.S. Rev. Proc. 2014-35

or subsequent Internal Revenue Service procedures or regulations; or

▪ meets the criteria of the General Test under the I.R.S. General Criteria of General Welfare

exclusion listed in I.R.S. Rev. Proc. 2014-35, section 5.02(1). [10 O.C. 1001.4-1].

The criteria of the General Test require that any such assistance or benefit provided by the Nation:

▪ is paid on behalf of the Nation;

▪ is provided pursuant to an approved program;

▪ does not discriminate in favor of members of the governing body of the Nation;

▪ is available to any member of the Nation who meets the guidelines of the approved

program;

▪ is provided for the promotion of general welfare;

▪ is not lavish or extravagant;

▪ is not provided for compensation for services; and

▪ is not a per capita payment. [10 O.C. 1001.4-2(a)-(h)].

An approved program shall be established and operated to promote the general welfare of the

Nation, including programs designed to enhance the promotion of health, education, selfPage 1 of 3

sufficiency, self-determination, and the maintenance of culture and tradition, entrepreneurship, and

employment. [10 O.C. 1001.4-3(a)]. An approved program is required to meet all criteria of the

General Test. [10 O.C. 1001.4-3(d)]. The Oneida Business Committee has the authority to create

an approved program on behalf of the Nation through the adoption of either a law or resolution.

[10 O.C. 1001.5-1]. An approved program is adopted through a law if the approved program will

function on a permanent basis, and if the approved program will function on a limited term, then

the approved program can be adopted through a resolution. [10 O.C. 1001.5-1(a)-(b)]. The law or

resolution that adopts the approved program is required to contain the following information:

▪ Name of the approved program;

▪ Purpose of the approved program;

▪ Eligibility rules and limitations for approved program;

▪ Funding source for approved program;

▪ How the approved program qualifies for General Welfare Exclusion; and

▪ Start and end date of approved program, if the approved program will operate on a limited

term. [10 O.C. 1001.5-1(c)].

This resolution adopts and establishes the Oneida Elder Interview Program as an approved

program of the Nation in accordance with the Oneida General Welfare law for the purpose of

providing financial assistance to elders who participate in the Oneida Elder Interview Program to

ensure that the general welfare needs of the elders are met while participating in the Oneida Elder

Interview Program. This resolution meets the requirements for the contents of a proposed

approved program as provided for in section 1001.5-1(c) of the Oneida General Welfare law by

providing the following information:

▪ Establishment and Purpose. The Oneida Elder Interview Program is established as an

approved program of the Nation in accordance with the Oneida General Welfare law for

the purpose of collecting an oral history of their generation, the Oneida Nation, Oneida

Reservation, and their families and fellow members in an effort to enrich the general

welfare of every member of the Nation by recording the Nation’s history, culture, tradition,

and unique way of life for generations to come. Assistance is provided to elders who

participate in the Oneida Elder Interview Program to ensure that the general welfare needs

of the elders are met while participating in the Oneida Elder Interview Program.

▪ Eligibility. Any enrolled member of the Nation who is at least sixty-five (65) years of age

or older and participates in an elder interview shall be eligible for assistance from the

Oneida Elder Interview Program.

▪ Funding Source. The Oneida Elder Interview Program shall be funded through Bureau

of Indian Affairs Aid to Tribal Government monies received by the Nation and allocated

to Culture and Language in accordance with Resolution BC-11-24-21-C, Oneida Nation

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Bureau of Indian Affairs Aid to Tribal Government

Spending Plan.

▪ Qualifications for General Welfare Exclusion. The Oneida Elder Interview Program

meets the requirements of the General Test as defined in the Oneida General Welfare law;

General Criteria as defined in I.R.S. Rev. Proc. 2014-35, section 5; and the requirements

of the Tribal General Welfare Exclusion Act of 2014, 26 U.S.C. §139E(b). The assistance

provided through the Oneida Elder Interview Program is:

▪ paid on behalf of the Nation;

▪ pursuant to an approved program of the Nation;

Page 2 of 3

Public Packet

34 of 233

▪

does not discriminate in favor of members of the governing body of the Nation;

available to any eligible member of the Nation who meets the guidelines of the

approved program;

▪ provided for the promotion of general welfare;

▪ not lavish or extravagant;

▪ not compensation for services; and

▪ not a per capita payment.

Distribution of Funds. The Oneida Cultural Heritage is identified as the area responsible

Oneida Nation Arts & Culture Survey Proposal

ARPA Funds Request by Sherrole Benton, Arts Program Supervisor

Oneida Nation Arts Program, GSD, Cultural Heritage Dept, February 25, 2022

The Oneida Nation Arts Program (ONAP) is proposing a new survey of tribal members about

how they see the services and activities of the Arts, Culture, & Language programs. We would

hire an outside professional consultant, (who specializes in arts, culture, and language data) to

work with us to develop the survey. We expect the consulting company to analyze the survey

results and provide us with a report.

The survey would assess what tribal members and tribal artists need or expect from ONAP’s

programming, services, classes, or events. According to the 2020 Quality of Life survey, we

can improve upon providing programs that help tribal members feel connected to their Oneida

culture, (page 22). We would focus some survey questions on tribal members’ needs regarding

programming that would invigorate or revitalize their cultural identity as Oneida people.

It’s important to practice our unique art, culture, language and tribal identity in order to maintain

federal recognition and our tribal sovereignty. The ripple effects of the colonial “divide and

conquer” policies still affect our tribal community today. Our reservation is divided by two

counties, multiple townships and municipalities, and several school districts, and urban and rural

areas. Daily interactions in the mainstream society chip away at our individual identities as

Oneida people, and influence our beliefs and behaviors. We have few places and opportunities

to gather as a tribal community that reflect and revitalize our unique identity and heritage.

We have reviewed the following surveys:



2020 Quality of Life,



2018 Economic Development Strategic Plan Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, and



2014 Oneida Reservation Comprehensive Plan Annual Report.

There is a lot of good information about the demographics of Oneida tribal people. We also see

a need for a fine-tuned survey specifically about tribal arts, culture and language and support for

cultural identity and “creative placemaking.” There is a desire in the community for developing

an “Oneida community of wellness that supports the individual’s tie to the land through a sense

of place and identity,” (2014 Oneida Reservation Comprehensive Plan Annual Report, page 16).

59 of 233

Public Packet

The previous surveys indicate a few concepts that we would delve into more for providing

60 of 233

ONAP with future direction. The 2018 Economic Development Plan indicates a need to improve

the public image of the Oneida community, (page 8). A new survey about the arts and culture in

Oneida can focus on a few concepts such as:



Needs assessment for arts, culture, language programs, services, or events



Listening for ideas to create a place or public art that reflects an Oneida community



Listening for a desire to promote an Oneida image and story beyond local boundaries



Improving quality of life with cultural events like art, theatre, music, Native arts

The 2020 Quality of Life Survey indicates that there’s room for improvement for presenting the

arts, theatre, music in our community, (page 22). From the results of the new survey, we propose

the development of a public work of art that will create a sense of place, invigorate cultural

identity, as well as, promote the Oneida reservation in a positive light. This survey will guide us

on determining what type of new public work or art, or new “place making” project we ought to

create. In addition, the survey results will provide good data for other grant opportunities.

There are open and public spaces on the Oneida reservation (tribally owned) where we could

install public art or designate and build-up a historical and culturally relevant place. The future

renovated Amelia Cornelius Culture Park would be a great place for new public art sculptures,

and the brick walls of the sides of a few tribal buildings would be great for murals. These projects

would reflect Oneida culture, heritage, and identity and improve our public image as we express

who are as a people.

We would facilitate a “Call for Public Art Proposals,” from Native American master artists who

have the skills and experience to create large scale public art projects. We would ask the artists to

consider working with local artists as helpers and apprentices to learn their craft and techniques.

The “Call for Public Arts Proposals,” will be open to Eastern Woodland tribal artists including all

of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people, the Anishinaabe, Potawatomi, Menominee, Ottawa, Ho

Chunk nation and others. The Haudenosaunee people have a Friendship Wampum Belt with the

Anishinaabe and other tribes that was created in the early 18th century. The Friendship Belt

means the Anishinaabe and associated tribes made peace with each and there will always be an

open path between them. (Wampum Belts and treaties,

https://anishinaabek.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/ojibway-belt.pdf )

Creative Placemaking and public art is a phrase created by the National Endowment for the Arts.

"Coined by Ann Markusen and Anne Gadwa Nicodemus for the National Endowment for the Arts

Public Packet

in 2010, creative placemaking refers to the process in which “partners from public, private, non-

61 of 233

profit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social character of a

neighborhood, town, city, or region around arts and cultural activities.” Creative placemaking

advocates believe that community development projects benefit from the participation of artists at

the onset of projects, and on the planning and design teams that shape our communities."

Oneida Nation Residential Infrastructure Program

ARPA Tribal Contribution Savings Proposal

Requested Funding Amount: $3 Million

Broad Goal Alignment: Land, Infrastructure, and Sovereignty

Background

During the February 9, 2022 Regular BC Meeting a proposal was reviewed to allocate ARPA FRF LR (now

ARPA Tribal Contribution Savings) funds to a residential infrastructure project.

Specifically, the plan asked to address:

• Pay the cost of connecting Tribal Members who live on the Reservation to Natural Gas when

the service is located on their roadway but is not run to their house, known as "the last mile"

• Pay the cost for Tribal Members who live on the Reservation, relying on a well for water, to

purchase and have installed water softeners and/or water purification systems.

• Pay the cost connecting Tribal Members who live on the Reservation to internet when the

service is located on their roadway.

• Pay the cost to buy Tribal Members out of their expensive contracts for Internet service,

Propane gas service and water filtration rental contracts so that the above services can be

implemented and completed.

The proposal resulted in the following motion:

Motion by Jennifer Webster to forward the request for an ARPA FRF LR funded Residential Infrastructure

Project to the General Manager for review and recommendations and to submit to the FRF portal for

consideration within 60 days and to include consideration for amendments to ARPA [FRF LR] allocations,

seconded by Brandon Stevens. Motion carried:

Purpose

To provide access to affordable utilities (natural gas, Internet, and clean water) for Tribal membership

residing on the reservation where the service is available at their road. This service is only to connect to

the infrastructure available and not pay for the actual service. It also will cover the cost to buy

membership who are connected out of their previous contracts for service.

Program Details

For all of the matters (Natural Gas, water softeners/purifiers, and internet) the intent is to put the

projects into the hands of Tribal homeowners. Each residence is unique and not all membership may be

seeking connection to this infrastructure. Tribal membership will be provided with clear instruction to

contact a vendor of their choice, request an invoice, and submit the invoice (along with proof of home

ownership) to the Oneida Nation for payment. Contract buyouts will be submitted in the same manner.

Projects will be capped at the following, per household:

Public Packet

68 of 233

• Natural Gas: $8,000, plus optional $3,000 to convert to Natural Gas piping

• Water softeners/purifiers: $5,000

• Internet: $7,000

Program available through Fiscal Year 2023, or until funds are expended.

Special Note: Oneida Digital Technology Services (DTS) has been working on a number of fronts to

develop an Oneida Telco that could effectively providing low-cost internet services across the

reservation as soon as October 2022. This implementation would supplant the need to pay the cost for

membership to connect to Internet Service Providers.

Eligibility

• Tribal homeowner residing on the Oneida Reservation.

• Service must be available on the roadway in front of the residence.

• Water softeners/purifiers available only to those that rely on well service.

Action Items

• Standard operating procedures will be developed and approved prior to implementation.

• A Communication Plan to membership about the program will be developed and

implemented.

Re: Residential Infrastructure Project using ARPA-Federal Relief Funds

Background:

There are many Tribal Members living on the reservation who live in rural areas

and have a lack of affordable utility services available to them, this includes

Natural Gas, Internet and Clean Water. In many cases the services are already

available on their roadway, but the cost is too high for them to have the service

run to their home. This is the case for my house. We live quite a way back from

the road, in the woods, close to Trout Creek. Companies call this, "needing the

last mile." The home owner is responsible for that cost on top of everything else.

Often the charge Because of this, they must rely on expensive propane for

heating, expensive satellite internet service or inefficient dial-up service, and due

to non-palatable/drinkable water from a well they must rely on buying bottled

water.

The ARPA Federal Relief Funds for Tribes are meant to help Tribes meet

pandemic response needs and rebuild a stronger and more equitable economy as

the country recovers. Recipients can use the funds to:

mReplace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide

government services up to the amount of revenue loss experienced due to

the pandemic

coRespond to the far-reaching public health and negative economic

impacts of the pandemic, by supporting the health of communities, and

helping households, small businesses, impacted industries, nonprofits, and

the public sector recover from economic impacts

mProvide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support

to those who have and will bear the greatest health risks because of their

service in critical sectors

71 of 233

Public Packet

rnlnvest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary

investments to improve access to clean drinking water,to support vital

wastewater and stormwater infrastructure,and to expand affordable access

to broadband internet

A community input survey was conducted over the summer which collected

Tribal Member feedback on projects to be undertaken and funded using the

ARPA funds. There are four points in the survey which support the need for

Utility and Infrastructure assistance.

□□The question: "What suggested projects or uses do you have for the Direct

Membership Assistance designation?" The fourth highest response was for

assistance with Utilities

□□The question: "What suggested projects or uses do you have for the

Affordable Housing designation?" The highest response was for assistance

with Home Repairs

□□The question: "What suggested projects or uses do you have for the Land,

Infrastructure & Sovereignty designation?" The second highest response

was for Infrastructure

□□The question: "What projects or uses of the funds would be most helpful to

you and your family?" The highest response was for assistance with Home

Repairs and the 12 ..highest response was for Utility Assistance.

Internet:

Spectrum has run lines through much of the reservation,but that does not mean

it is run to each household. If you can not afford to pay the high cost of having the

line run to your house,that only leaves you with a few options for internet

service.

The first,is by phone line which can barely handle the load to run an internet site

much less watch a movie.

The second is by DSL,it can be expensive depending on how many data overage

charges there are (sometimes $100 +),is faster than dial up,but is still so slow

you can only watch a movie on one device at a time,the upload speeds were so

slow that we had to get a hot spot from my sons school in order for him to get his

work turned in. DSL,I have found is becoming a thing of the past. I wasn't aware

that if I switched from DSL with AT&T, that I wouldn't be able to switch back.

AT&T eliminated DSL and AT&T has a monopoly on my area,so my only option

was satellite internet.

72 of 233

Public Packet

The third is satellite internet which is very costly ($200-over $400 per month)

requires a contract, is slow at 27Mbps and is very unreliable in any sort of

inclement weather. They have cheaper plans ($69.00-$99.00) but the data didn't

even last us half a month.

Whether satellite internet service companies can say they provide high speed

internet at 27Mbps, what I have experienced, is that it is slower than DSL at

times and is so unreliable that we have issues almost every day. We can still only

use one device at a time to stream a movie, unless you don't mind constant

buffering and when they throttle your service down because you have run out of

data time, you can't even get on the internet to find a phone number.

Spectrum cable internet on the other hand, has 100-200 Mbps and is 94.4%

reliable.

Natural Gas:

For those who do not have a natural gas line run to their house, the only other

gas option is LP. LP is extremely costly. For my house we have to pay almost

$1000 to fill up the propane tank and it lasts about 2 months in the winter. With

our budget billing, we have to pay $248 per month. For my sister's house which

is comparable in size, she only pays $47 a month all year round under budget

billing with WPS for natural gas. With propane there is maintenance required to

check the amount of gas in the tank, which can be hard during the winter,

especially for elders or the disabled. And if you do run out, you can be without

heat for days until the company can come out to refill, and there is a $150 fee for

special trip in emergency, plus a $75 fee for a leak test.

Clean Water:

For those who are not located on a roadway with Oneida water utilities and who

live in a rural location, water can only be accessed via a well. Well water without

a softener can be non-potable and non-palatable. Water softeners can cost

anywhere from $2000-$5000+ depending on the quality of your well water. In

many parts of the reservation, like my sister's and my niece's house, the water

can not be drank safely without it being purified in some way due to high mineral

content. The cost of the softeners and/ or purification systems are out of reach for

many and many are using outdated and/ or not as functional equipment for their

73 of 233

Public Packet

74 of 233

Water because of the cost. There are rental options, but those can be high priced,

up to $100 per month or more. When you do not have a softener/purifier it

takes a toll on your houses pipes as well causing buildup and stains on all your

fixtures and appliances.It can cause your water heater to break and even can

cause issues with dishwashers, washers, new steam dryers, faucets and shower

heads, When you have rust in your water, it can cause stains on your toilets, sinks

and bathtubs. When you have egg smelling (sulfur) water or water with a high

mineral content, it can make drinking water difficult. Many families on the

reservation are forced to purchase bottled water. Plastic, although may be

recycled, is very bad for the environment.

Contracts:

For each of these services, sometimes companies make you sign contracts.

Sometimes you need to buy your way out of them if you switch to a different

service. If my proposal is granted, I would like it to include buying out the Tribal

Members contract if it pertains. It would not be fair to leave out any Tribal

Member simply because they were in a contract that, if paid, would allow them to

receive a service(s) that would save them from a lifetime of unnecessary charges.

I estimate that it would be less than $500 per service. For example, I had to pay

$29.00 per month of service still left on a 2 year contract ($228.00) to switch

from Viasat satellite internet service to Hughs Net satellite internet service.

Proposal:

I propose that we use $3,000,000 of the ARPA-FRF funds out of the Land,

Infrastructure and Sovereignty category to pay for a project that will:

1. Pay the cost of connecting Tribal Members who live on the Reservation to

high-speed broadband internet when service is located on their roadway

but is not run to their house, known as "the last mile".

2. Pay the cost of connecting Tribal Members who live on the Reservation to

Natural Gas when the service is located on their roadway but is not run to

their house, known as "the last mile"

3. Pay the cost for Tribal Members who live on the Reservation to purchase

and have installed water softeners and/or water purification systems.

Public Packet

4. Pay the cost to buy Tribal Members out of their expensive contracts for

Internet service, Propane gas service and water filtration rental contracts so

that the above services can implemented and completed.

THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR

103 of 233

WASHINGTON

JUL 25 2022

Dear Tribal Leader:

In June 2021, I launched the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative (Initiative) at the

U.S. Department of the Interior (Department) to highlight the troubled history of Federal Indian

boarding school policies and their legacy for Indigenous people. However, to address the

intergenerational impact of Federal Indian boarding schools and to promote spiritual and emotional

healing in our communities, we must also acknowledge and shed light on the unspoken traumas of the

past.

In May of this year, Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Bryan Newland released volume 1 of the

Investigative Report, as called for as part of the Initiative. Volume I of the report lays the groundwork

for the Department’s continued advancement of the Initiative, in coordination with sister agencies.

To build on this work, I launched The Road to Healing, which will serve as a year-long tour across

the country to provide survivors of the Federal Indian boarding school system and their descendants

an opportunity to share experiences. This second stop on this historic tour is Michigan where Assistant

Secretary Newland and I will visit. I invite you, survivors from your community, and the survivors’

families, to join us on the following date and time:

Date

Saturday, August 13, 2022

Time

10 a.m. EST

Location

Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,

Pellston Public Schools, 172 Park Street,

Pellston, MI 49769

The opportunity to attend and participate in this event will help inform the Federal Government about

subsequent work of the Initiative. It also provides a platform for stories to be heard. A court reporter

will be onsite to transcribe the event. We expect to limit press access to the first hour of the event so

that those who need privacy are afforded an opportunity to participate without the media being present.

The burden of reliving this painful past will be immensely difficult for Indigenous families—including

my own—who carry this trauma. Trauma-informed support will be available onsite. We will also

connect survivors and their families with follow-up support, as requested.

I thank you in advance for your engagement and for encouraging your community to participate. By

acknowledging the past, we will work toward a future we can all embrace. If you have any questions,

please contact Mr. Joaquin Gallegos, Special Assistant for Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs, at

joaquin_gallegos@ios.doi.gov. Public feedback from Federal Indian boarding school survivors or their

families may be submitted to the Department at roadtohealing@ios.doi.gov.

Sincerely,

Deb Haaland

5. ISSUES OF CONCERN

The Election Board, when planning for and conducting elections was met with few trials and

tribulations and thoughts of what can be done better. Things that occurred and

questions/concerns include the following:

a) Location issues: it would be nice to be able to have one location to use every year for all

elections. We wanted to provide the safety of social distancing, we also had optional

PPE (masks, and hand sanitizer) available for voters, and were able to sanitize voting

stations once voters were done, but the NHC Cafeteria is just not an ideal location to

hold an election. Turtle School had construction going on in the gym, Woodlawn doesn’t

have Wi‐Fi, and the Health Center would have not allowed for proper social distancing.

b) Why does OPD need to be present the entire time? Whether for Election Day or when/if

having to do recounts. Could this be changed to Security; at least they would also be an

impartial witness. This year OPD got called out for an emergency but did return.

c) Had to have an amendment to the Election Law pertaining to the number of required

signatures when verify the machine count. Why are six (6) signatures required on the

results tapes?

d) Why must voters complete the registration sheet when Enrollments verifies enrollment?

e) For future elections, be more cognizant of needs of elders, ie. Close drop‐off location

f) For the Oneida polling location, we were denied the ability to have a gift card, PO or any

kind of advance to have food delivered or purchased so we could have breakfast, lunch

and dinner. Accounting advised that it was not allowed.

g) Printing: When it came time to complete the final Election notice; Printing was not able

to help as they had to prepare the meeting materials for the upcoming GTC meeting,

which then left us to have to go to an outside vendor. The notice went out in time in

accordance to the Election Law.

6. REQUESTED ACTION:

a) The Election Board hereby respectfully requests the Oneida Business Committee to

comply with the Election Law, 102.11‐13. Declaration of Results. The Business

Committee shall declare the official results of the election and send notices regarding

when the swearing in of newly elected officials shall take place within ten (10) business

days after receipt of the Final Report.

REF:

2021 Annual Project Information Request: RAVE Alert Platform

Date:

August 6, 2021

RAVE Alert Platform and RAVE Collaborate:

The Oneida Nation Emergency Management Department purchased access to the

RAVE Alert Platform in November 2019. The Oneida Nation currently uses the RAVE Alerting

Platform to send time sensitive and emergency alerts to the Oneida Nation Employees.

The majority of the Alert Messaging that are currently sent out pertain to Severe

Weather. The Severe Weather Alerts are sent as push notifications from the National Weather

Service, the alerts are predetermined within the parameters that the Oneida Nation set within

the RAVE Platform. The Emergency Management Department has also used the RAVE Alert

Platform to send out messages about closures of buildings and departments, to notify

employees of delays of opening of the Nation due to weather related incidents, to notify

employees of vaccination appointments, to notify employees of an Active Threat Situation, and

to most recently to notify employees of the Mandatory Mask Mandate that was initiated.

During the EM Director’s annual evaluation meeting an increased use of the Nation’s

RAVE Alerting Platform was discussed. Emergency Management is requesting the support of

the Oneida Business Committee in requiring all divisions, departments and areas of the Nation

to obtain training on how to use the RAVE Alert Platform and to require implementation of the

use of RAVE Alerts within the Nation, as a standard form of communication for emergency

notification, within one year.

As of the time of this report, there are areas of the Nation that have requested and been

provided information on how RAVE Alerting works and have received information pertaining to

several different uses for RAVE and the Alerting Platform. The Emergency Management

Department also purchased RAVE Collaborate, in December of 2021. RAVE Collaborate

provides the Nation the ability to create/open an incident response virtually within the RAVE

system that tracks real-time response to an emergency or disaster as it is occurring. RAVE

Collaborate can also be used for Special Events, tracking specific tasks within the event for the

event hosts.

RAVE Collaborate is still in its beginning stages of implementation within Oneida’s RAVE

Alert Platform. It is the intent of Emergency Management to continue to work with OPD, DPW,

Security and other areas of the Nation to further train all areas on the use of Collaborate for

Oneida. At this time, due to the limited number of individuals that are trained on how to use

RAVE and RAVE Collaborate, the EM Department is requesting assistance from the Oneida

Business Committee to require all divisions, departments and areas of the Nation to obtain

training on how to use the RAVE Alert Platform. As more individuals become familiar with the

Public Packet

113 of 233

RAVE Alert Platform, Oneida will further be able to implement RAVE Collaborate to its full

potential.

The Emergency Management Department does not have the capacity nor the capability

to manage the information for the over 2000 employees the Nation currently employees.

Emergency Management continues to work with HRD to ensure all employees of the Nation

have access to RAVE Alerts. Emergency Management and HRD maintain information within the

RAVE System to the best of their ability, using the information that the employee provides.

Emergency Management is requesting that the Oneida Business Committee mandate all

Managers, Directors, and Supervisors work with Emergency Management to develop groups

and lists of their employees within the RAVE Alert System at the Division, Department and

Building level for emergency notification. The intent of the creation of these groups and lists is to

provide Divisions, Departments, Areas and Buildings the ability to send out time sensitive alerts

that may impact their employees.

As Emergency Management continues to work with the areas of the Nation that have

requested training and information on the ability and uses of the RAVE Alerting Platform,

Emergency Management will provide quarterly reports to the OBC on the status of the Divisions,

Departments, Areas and Buildings development of groups and lists within the RAVE Alerting

Platform.
