ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ACCOMPLISHMENT #1

Summary:

Oneida Nation School Board took action to support a community meeting for the building

of a new Oneida Nation high school. Meeting was scheduled Wednesday, January 10,

2024, in the NHC/high school cafeteria. A second meeting was scheduled for March 20,

2024. The high school principal is collaborating with area managers who currently have

items on the CIP list. Meeting details are continuing to be communicated to the community

through social media outlets.

Impact: Community members will realize how critical the need is for our youth to be able to

have their own high school with the necessary educational equipment, resources, and programs

to help parents educate and motivate them to be productive citizens.

A new high school will provide a necessary safe space, expand student learning

opportunities, and will be competitive with surrounding school districts. We would like the

Oneida Nation High School to be the school of choice for our native students. This project is

supported by the Oneida Business Committee, and with the support of the GTC we will also

be able to increase college and career readiness for our students.

Business Committee Travel Report

Day One: Travel Day. Taking advantage of the proximity to the Mashantucket Pequot

Tribal Nation, the group met with Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation leadership

including Chairman Rodney Butler, Secretary Matthew Pearson, and Councilors Daniel

Menihan, Jr., Michele Scott, Crystal Whipple. We spoke about how their Nation’s

government is organized, how their council meetings are run, as well as how they

meet with their membership. We had a walking tour of their government facility as

well as a driving tour of their properties and reservation.

Day Two: The day began with a tour of the Mogehan Tribe’s reservation, Mohegan

Hill, Tantaquidgeon Museum, and their government facilities. Following the tour, a

working session was held with the Tribal Council and their Executives.

• Bay Bank: Jeff Bowman and Nathan King joined virtually and provided overview

of the services provided at Bay Bank. With over 500+ Native American Tribes,

there are only 20 Native American owned banks nationwide. There was some Q

& A, and a follow-up meeting was requested.

• Oneida Comprehensive Housing: An overview of our housing programs was

provided. Mohegan Tribe is looking to expand their housing programming for

their tribal members and wanted to gain a better understanding of various

programs/services that are being offered to tribal members (home ownership,

veteran loans, rental, rent-to-own, income-based programming).

• Oneida Comprehensive Health: Again, an overview was provided which touched

on the programs and services provided to our members. Additional attention

was paid to the Anna John Resident Centered Care Community, its history, and

current programming. The cost of these services and how they are funded was

reviewed.

• Government Structure: An overview of Mohegan’s government structure was

provided. They shared how they interact, how they manage their daily work,

how they work with their constituency, as well as how they are involved in the

corporate entities.

• Corporate Structure: Mohegan shared their corporate structure and a short

presentation of their various businesses. See attached fact sheet for additional

information.

Day Three: A morning meeting was held with John Meskill, Director of Regulations,

for the Mohegan Tribe’s Gaming Commission. Mr. Meskill was able to provide an

overview of how the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Commission is organized and their

relationship with the Tribal Council. He provided a snapshot of the Gaming

Commission’s roles responsibilities and how their regulatory structure is framed. We

were able to discuss the similarities and differences due to how our operations are

organized. After the meeting there were opportunities to visit the Mohegan Sun Golf

Club or visit Mystic, Connecticut and tour the Mashantucket Pequot Museum &

Research Center.

Day Four: Travel Day. Chairman Gessner met with the group over breakfast and

wished us well on our travels home.

best provide for their membership and keep their reservation thriving.

Mohegan Tribe and Oneida Nation; no specific Business Committee action is needed at

Court system exists to adjudicate constitutional as well as civil issues.

Other Tribal leaders include Chief Many Hearts, Doctor Lynn Malerba, Medicine Woman and Tribal

Historian Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, Pipe Carriers Bruce “Two Dogs” Bozsum and Christopher Harris,

Firekeepers Jay Ihloff and Tom Epps, and Lodgekeeper Charlie Strickland “Two Bears.”

The Tribal Government has numerous administrative departments, including Cultural and Community

Programs, Education, Library and Archives, Gaming Commission, Health and Human Services, Housing

Authority, Public Safety, Utility Authority, Land Preservation and Planning and Environmental Protection.

The Tribe’s Journeys

The story of the Mohegan Nation is like that of many other Native

tribes. Before the arrival of the Europeans, Sachem (Chief) Uncas

brought his people to Shantok and the hills of Mohegan. Uncas

believed that cooperation with the English arrivals would ensure his

people’s survival, and therefore, developed a historic interaction

between his Tribe and the settlers.

Just two years after forming the Connecticut Colony, the English

formally recognized the sovereignty of the Mohegan Tribe with the

Treaty of Hartford in 1638, a recognition that has been maintained through the present day.

For over 350 years, treaties and laws have highlighted the Tribe’s independent status. At the federal

level, the unique rights of Native American tribes were further recognized and laid out in the Constitution

of the United States.

In 1978, the Mohegans filed for federal recognition. After an intensive review of over 20,000 pages of

paperwork documenting the Tribe’s history, the federal government formally recognized the Mohegan

Nation on March 7, 1994, marking the end of a long battle for federal recognition as a sovereign nation.

This day was a turning point for the Mohegan Tribe and continues to be celebrated annually by the

Tribe.

That same year, the Mohegan Tribe decided to pursue casino

gaming as a business strategy, with the goal of returning the

Tribe to economic self-sufficiency. In 1996, the Tribe opened

Mohegan Sun on 185 acres of its reservation in Uncasville,

Connecticut. Throughout its 24-year history, it has continued to

expand into one of the most successful entertainment and

gaming facilities in the world with three casinos, awardwinning entertainment venues, two hotels, an 18-hole

championship golf course, a spa and more. It is also home

court to the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun.

In a continued effort for economic self-sufficiency, the Tribe, under the entity Mohegan (corporate),

expanded its outreach to off-reservation ventures in January of 2005 with the acquisition of Pocono

Downs Raceway in Pennsylvania. After a 1.5-year renovation and expansion, the property – now known

as Mohegan Pennsylvania – reopened, marking the first casino in Pennsylvania to offer slot machines.

In August 2012, the Tribe made history once again by becoming the first Native American Tribe to take

over management of a commercial property when a management agreement to oversee operations

of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City was signed - further securing financial self-reliance.

To ensure financial stability, the Tribe felt it necessary to diversify its portfolio and, in 2014, created

Mohegan Holding Company, LLC, which focuses on business diversification in non-gaming areas. This

includes interests in sustainable energy resources and manufacturing and franchised restaurants.

In what could be considered one of the most pivotal

moments for the Tribe since federal recognition,

Mohegan broke international barriers in February

2016 when they were awarded a license to operate

a one-of-its-kind integrated resort destination at one

of the world’s busiest airports, Incheon International

Airport in Seoul, South Korea - putting the Tribe and

Mohegan (corporate) in a strong position for many

years to come.

In June of 2019, Mohegan continued to expand their footprint into international gaming markets when

they signed a Casino Operating and Services Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming

Corporation (OLG) for Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino Resort. Both casinos are located in Niagara

Falls, Canada.

For the Mohegan Tribe, it is not just about protecting their 2,300-plus tribal citizens. It’s about being an

integral part of our communities – locally and within Indian Country. Because of our successes, the Tribe

has been placed in the unique position to help its fellow native tribes both through community outreach,

as well as from a business perspective.

The Mohegan Tribe and Mohegan (corporate) entered a management contract with the Cowlitz Tribe

in Washington State to develop and operate a $500 million casino project. ilani opened in spring 2017

and has already received several national awards. This agreement not only provide additional revenue

stream to the Mohegan Tribe but helps to ensure the financial future for our fellow natives.

In March 2021, the Tribe continued to break barriers becoming the first Native American Tribe to operate

a casino in Las Vegas, Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Most recently, the Tribe and Mohegan (corporate) made history in Connecticut after partnering with

FanDuel Group and launching a retail sports betting experience with a temporary Mohegan Sun

FanDuel Sportsbook retail location. Shortly after, the partnership launched a fully integrated, real money

online gaming experience through MoheganSunCasino.com, the Mohegan Sun Casino app and

FanDuel Sportsbook app.

As the Tribe continues onward, we are reminded of something the late Chief Ralph Sturges said shortly

after being granted federal recognition. “…until now, they were living in the past. They had nothing but

their history. Now, they are living in the future. Now, they can make history.”
