Accomplishments
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary: AJRCCC Bylaws were approved by the Business Committee February 2019. Changes were made and

Public Packet

6 of 150

Impact:
Compliance with BCC law. This allows the Board to continue to service the residents of AJRCCC and their families
by supporting their needs, services, safety, and addressing concerns in a timely manner.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary: Attend Elder Expo in August 2019. Had table with some freebies that were handed out to attendants,
including Chapstick that we had made with the Board information on them.
Impact: Be available to give information about the Board and the AJRCCC. Allows community members to ask
questions and voice concerns about the AJRCCC.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:
The computers that were ordered months ago have finally arrived and are hooked up at the AJRCCC. We are
only waiting for a WIFI card for one of the computers, but they are up and operational.
Impact:
Allow the residents and guests the opportunity to play games on the computer, read news sites, connect with
others through Social Media. Since this is relatively new, the Board will be reviewing how they are liking the
computers.

Goals
LONG-TERM GOAL #1
Continued teamwork and communication between the board and AJRCCC administration.

By working together with the AJRCCC administration, it allows collaboration to address any issues, needs, or
wants of the residents to make their home a better place to live. When issues arise the Board and
Administration work together to figure out what needs to happen and who is handling the issue. We do follow
the chain of command should this be an employee issue or a community complaint. We follow up with
administration until the issue is resolved.

Update on Goal:
Continue to invite AJRCCC administration to monthly meetings and keep them up to date about any issues. AJRCCC
Administrator stated that he will try to come to at least every other meeting to give updates.
LONG-TERM GOAL #2

Public Packet

7 of 150

Continue to have board members attend Resident Council Meetings to hear their concerns, issues, to assist with
getting them to AJRCCC administration.
By being involved with meetings with the residents, it allows the Board to hear those needs and wants directly
from the residents and their family members so that we can advocate for them with administration. Continued
attendance at the Resident Council Meetings. This creates trust with the residents and the Board as well as
Administration.
Update on Goal:
We continue to assign board member each month to attend the meeting. The concerns that we hear are being
addressed by AJRCCC Admin staff. For other suggestions, the Board reaches out to get more information.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Get a Board picture of the entire board to have put in the Kalihwisaks, introducing the board members.
This allows the Board to be known in the community so that community members know who to address
concerns, suggestions, and compliments to.
Update on Goal:
Hoping to have this done during November Board meeting.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Work with AJRCCC Administration to have some articles printed in the Kalihwisaks about admissions and the good
things happening at AJRCCC. Chair will meet with Director of Nursing and Administrator.

These articles allow the community to know what is going on at AJRCCC: residents, events, good things,
admission questions.
Update on Goal:
Meeting needed to be rescheduled due to Chair’s schedule. Hoping this can be completed by end of quarter.
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
Board continues to meet monthly and board member continues to attend Resident Council Meetings. Harvest Dinner
at AJRCCC is scheduled for 11/20/2019 which some board members will attend. Chair attended the National Indian
Health Board’s annual conference.

Update on Activities:
Will have update from the NIHB conference at the November meeting. Residents have asked that an OBC member
attend their meetings once a quarter; a request has been sent to the OBC liaison members for AJRCCC.

Accomplishments

Public Packet

29 of 150

Please provide details of what the entity has accomplished that quarter, including any special events held
during the reporting period and any travel by the members and/or staff.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
Event Completion Follow-up - 47th Annual Oneida Pow-wow June 28-30, 2019

1. The admission revenues (see attached) were good. We would like to bring the admission prices up
a little next year. Reason being is the attendance amounts were up, but the admission revenues
were down because we lowered the daily and weekend pass amounts from previous years per a
recommendation. We lowered day passes to $7 from $8 and the weekend passes from $15 to $12.
2. The Supply Advance was reconciled and approved by the accounting department. A copy of the
reconciliation is attached along with all the revenues, contract payout amounts, and inter-tribal
billing. The amounts paid out by contracts (Carts, tents, porta potties, etc.) are continuing to raise
their service prices each year.
3. All invoices from the pow-wow have been paid.
4. Our adult categories are broken down into Golden, Sr. Adults, and Jr. Adults. Because of a
suggestion from one of our members we changed those age categories from what we had in
previous years. See chart below:

Jr. Adult
18 to 34

2018

Sr. Adult
35 to 49

Changed
to:

Jr. Adult
18 to 39

2019

Sr. Adult
40 to 59

During the pow-wow we had many suggestions to go back to the 2018 age category breakdown for
Jr. & Sr. Adults which is what we will be using in 2020.
5. In order to be more transparent, the committee decided to hire a third-party vendor to do the
tabulation this year. In previous years a committee member did tabulations. Despite this effort; a
situation happened with the Tabulation this year. ONE of the committee members took it upon
them self to allow one of the dance categories to disobey the dancer rules by allowing this category
to change age group categories after they registered. Other dance categories asked to do so but
were told they could not. Once the rest of the committee became aware of this, we had a team
meeting to figure out how the rectify the situation. We have since wrote a Tabulation Policy to
prevent from happening in the future, and no committee member is to be involved with the
tabulation process.
A significant factor in the Pow-wows success are the volunteers who go above and beyond each year. Many of
our volunteers return every year. Our volunteers all work hard, but with our limited budget we are unable to
show a truly adequate thank you for all they do. We also received extra help from many of the departments
within the Tribe including, OPD, Gaming Security, Norbert Hill Maintenance, Environmental, Zoning, Risk
Management, Planning, DPW, and the electricians and many more not mentioned. The pow-wow is one of the
Tribe’s biggest events that requires months of planning from dedicated committee members and Oneida
employees. All the hard work for the Pow-wow results in a proud accomplishment for the Oneida Nation.

Public Packet

30 of 150

Impact:
The pow-wow creates good relations with other Tribes, Businesses, and Governments. It also brings in revenue for
the Nation, Community, and many surrounding businesses. It is also an invitation for Non-tribal communities to learn
more about Oneida culture.

ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
Completed and approved several Standard Operation Procedures including the Admission, Tabulation, Head-staff,
Specials, Cash Handling, and Task Management and Stipend. Along with SOPs a comprehensive Operations Manuel
was also created explaining the full planning process for Oneida’s competition and traditional pow-wows including,
requirements, forms and emergency plans.

Impact:
Procedures enhance team building, transparency, and the overall functions of the pow-wows. The Operations
manual is available for new committee members, BCC Support staff, BC Liaison and the GM for any inquiries
regarding the Pow-wow coordination.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #3
Summary:
Planning for Oneida’s two traditional Pow-wows began in August 2019. The second Winter Gathering Pow-wow will
be held at the Radisson on December 28, 2020, and The Honor the Youth Pow-wow will be held at the Radisson on
February 22, 2020

Impact: The traditional pow-wows give a time for Nations to gather and celebrate which creates good
relationships.

Goals
Please provide details of the entity’s long-term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected
quarterly activities.
LONG-TERM GOAL #1
Raising the prize money for dancers and drums to allow us to compete with other pow-wows.
Triennial Strategic Plan: This will draw more dancers and drums for larger competition, which will in turn attract
a larger crowd and encourage higher attendance. Higher attendance will result in more revenue.
Update on Goal:
The Committee’s available budget is the biggest obstacle for reaching these goals.

Public Packet

31 of 150

LONG-TERM GOAL #2
In order to expand we need larger pow-wow grounds to allow for more vendors, spectators, dancers, campers,
& parking. With larger grounds all of our revenue sources are likely to increase including attendance,
registration, camper, and parking revenues.
Triennial Strategic Plan: This expansion would generate more revenue both in space rental and admissions for
Oneida. With more revenues we could increase the prize money without increasing tribal contribution.
Update on Goal:
The Pow-wow committee has worked with the Oneida planning department at various points in the past 20
years to achieve this goal however it has always been put on hold. The committee has reviewed different
locations for the smaller traditional Pow-wows with little success. There are currently no known options for the
larger 4th of July Pow-wow besides Norbert Hill.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
The second annual Winter Gathering Pow-wow will occur on December 28, 2019 at the Radisson Hotel and
Conference Center. This is one of the two Traditional pow-wows.
Triennial Strategic Plan: This pow-wow replaced the annual Three Sister’s Pow-wow we held in previous years
during the months of October or November because of continuous low attendance numbers. The plan to
increase attendance is still being measured.
Update on Goal:
We have made most of the arrangements to carry out this pow-wow. We will continue to get ready for it as time
gets closer.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
The second traditional pow-wow is the annual Honor the Youth Pow-wow being held on February 22, 2020 at the
Radisson Hotel and Conference Center.

Triennial Strategic Plan - This pow-wow is designated for the youth. We always have youth specials, youth
head-staff, and higher payouts for the youth. Educating the youth at a young age will better their
accomplishments in their adult years.
Update on Goal:
We will continue to plan for this pow-wow until the event date. We are in the early planning stages for this powwow.
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
Each Pow-wow that is held is always reviewed for successes and obstacles to better prepare for the next one.
We make notes of any issues that arose to better manage them for the next event and members are always
thinking of ways to improve at every meeting.
Update on Activities:
We have been meeting and will continue to meet and discuss ways we can improve for future pow-wows

Public Packet

43 of 150

This goal is addressing the Good Governance Principle of Responsiveness to Oneida Tribal members’ needs.
Update on Goal:
Share more resources/services on our Facebook page. These are resources/services that people expressed which are
already being offered, like; Trauma Informed Care information that HIR Wellness provides (all SEOTS employees are

Department is another service people requested, Job information that can be received from Spotted Eagle Inc., Trust
fund informational presentations that are being offered in Oneida (we contacted the trust department for a
presentation in Milwaukee in the Spring), access to buffalo meat, and the Diabetes Program at Gerald L. Ignace Indian
Health Center. SEOTS also did a Diabetes workshop last year that they may repeat.
LONG-TERM GOAL #2
Make connections for Oneida Tribal members to utilize Milwaukee services.
This is practicing the Good Governance Principle of Effectiveness and Efficiency, by utilizing resources in the
Milwaukee community that our Oneida Tribal members are eligible for.
Update on Goal:
Each member brings different backgrounds to the table from various Milwaukee organizations that they work with.
Future meetings will be devoted to brainstorming on how we can connect these organizations to SEOTS and Oneida
Tribal members.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Finding ways that we can reach Oneida Tribal members in Milwaukee to engage them in SEOTS services and
activities.
Using the Good Governance Principle of Transparency, creating open communication and ensuring access to
information.

out a legal way that people can leave their phone numbers so that SEOTS staff can place reminder phone calls when
events are coming up.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Raise money to use for other board events that will make connections to Oneida Nation and other Milwaukee
organizations.

We are practicing the Good Governance Practice of Responsiveness, reacting to the needs and opinions of

Summary:

Impact:
One (1) applicant was scheduled to appear. During the hearing they informed us they recently paid their
outstanding debts in full, so we gave them a deadline to provide the supporting documentation before
rendering our recommendation. The applicant submitted the documentation by the deadline therefore we
made a recommendation to approve the pardon pursuant to the requirements of the Pardon and Forgiveness
law. BC Resolution 10‐23‐19‐D Regarding Pardon of Crystal M. Flores granted the pardon.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
Amended bylaws were approved by the Oneida Business Committee on October 9, 2019.

The Committee didn’t have significant amendments to our bylaws. Our meeting dates/times have changed to
the third (3rd) Monday of February, May, August, and November, however the pardon and forgiveness hearing
dates/times are still on the third (3rd) Thursday. There were also small changes to the membership (reduce the
number of alternates) and qualifications (community‐at‐large applicants must pass background check) which will
be implemented the next time vacancies occur.

Goals
Please provide details of the entity’s long‐term goals, the entity’s goals for the next quarter, and projected

and Enforcement, Employee Licensing, Hearings, Administration/Staffing, and Raffles.
Up-to-date regulations provide for operational and customer references, as well as provide for consistent and
repeatable processes that benefit the Nation and assist the OGC regulate Oneida Gaming effectively.
Update on Goal:
Current focus continues to be on the OGMICS Revision Project which has experienced delays due to re-allocating
resources toward sports betting research and regulations, WGRA conference planning and hosting, and staffing
changes. The commissioners have implemented working meetings to focus on revision of other regulations.
LONG-TERM GOAL #2
Determine staff competencies and expectations, evaluate staff and identify gaps, and train accordingly.
Educating, training and ensuring staff are experienced in overseeing the regulation of Oneida Gaming further
supports the triennial strategic plan of resource development.

Staff competencies and expectations continue to be evaluated so that appropriate training can be completed to
address skill gaps in the workforce. Each department has documented SMART Goals to be completed and
periodically evaluated.

QUARTERLY GOAL #1
The OGMICS Revision Project focus continues. Chapters have been prioritized for review and revision. Chapters
are revisited to determine if there are necessary changes relevant to the NIGC Class III MICS Guidance
document, while the most stringent of Class II and Class III minimum internal control standards are being
incorporated into the revised OGMICS.
Up-to-date regulations provide for operational and customer references, as well as provide for consistent and
repeatable processes that benefit the Nation and assist the OGC regulate Oneida Gaming effectively.
Update on Goal:
The OGMICS Revision Project completed Gaming Machines – Chapter 5 and Complimentary Services or Items –
Chapter 7 through OBC adoption. Table Games – Chapter 4 and Surveillance – Chapter 15 were reviewed by
Gaming Management and are in the final stages of approval. Multiple resources and efforts were dedicated this
quarter to reaffirm the OGMICS Revision Project process and expectations of Gaming Management for review
and input and SOP revisions/approvals.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Staff and self-assessments will be developed and planned for deployment. Annual training plans are to be
finalized for already known training needs.

supports the triennial strategic plan of resource development.
Update on Goal:
Annual training plans have been implemented.
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
OGC responsibilities and required processes (regulatory and operational) are being reviewed for value, efficiency
and effective checks and balances. Procedures and flow charts are being developed/revised accordingly.
Update on Activities:

(i.e., OGMICS Revision Project). Resources are dedicated as much as possible. Progress is slow, particularly with
emphasis being placed on OGMICS revisions and potential OGC bylaw revisions.

Accomplishments
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:

Met with CESA 7 Agency Administrator

Impact:
Supports S.M.A.R.T. Goal #1, “Review and update School Board Policies, annually”
Jeff Dickert met with the Board in July to discuss the services provided by CESA 7. The Board is considering using them
to facilitate Strategic Planning for the School System.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:

Approved various teacher postings SY 2019‐2020 as well as participated in screenings/interviews

Impact:
Supports Strategic Perspective/Objective 9.b., “Customers for the School Board would include the students, school
personnel, parents and community…”
Timely approval of postings/contracts ensure adequate staffing for the school year. There were many staffing
changes over the summer, which is typical.

Goals
LONG‐TERM GOAL #1
Increase the communication to not only students but to the community, as well.
Supports Strategic Perspectives/Objectives 9.c. “Internal processes include the communication with parents for
upcoming events on the Facebook page. The website is being updated to be more customer friendly. The NASIS
parent portal will be utilized more by parents with training at OPEN HOUSE and also with requests from parents
for an account.”
Update on Goal:
The board is working with the statistician on a survey to be completed mid‐term and at the end of the school year. At
this point, we haven’t finalized the scope but plan to have it ready for the winter break.
LONG‐TERM GOAL #2
Establish quarterly community/school meetings or input mechanism (Strategic Planning)
Supports Strategic Perspective/Objective 9.d., “…School Board will continue working with Administration on
policy development and seeking community input by holding community meetings.”
Update on Goal:
This long‐term goal has evolved over this past quarter. The Board is in the process of setting up facilitated strategic
planning for the school system. Although there are goals, objectives, and individual plans associated with grants,
there is a lack of an overarching strategic plan for the school system. The Board’s hope is that this strategic planning
would involve not only the school and its staff, but the parents and community‐at‐large.

QUARTERLY GOAL #1
Finalize the bylaws
Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #1, “Review and update School Board Policies, annually”
Update on Goal:
The draft bylaws were deferred to the 2nd regular Business Committee meeting in November. The Board will have
their final comments ready when they are brought back to the BC.
QUARTERLY GOAL #2
Complete Attorney RFP

Supports S.M.A.R.T. goal #2, “Participate in training necessary to conduct the duties involved”
Update on Goal:
A purchase order for the current attorney contract was initiated by the Oneida Nation School System and submitted
to the Finance Committee at their November 5, 2018, meeting. The Finance Committee approved “…with the
stipulation that this will [be] sent out for the three‐bid process for next year…”. By their approval of the Finance
Committee meeting minutes, the OBC also approved this action and stipulation on November 14, 2018. The final
attorney contract was executed in January 2019, so the RFP for the new contract term will need to be completed in
the next quarter.

OESC’s subsidiaries are supported by OESC with general management and administrative
functions, including accounting and contracting management, human resource management, IT

and its subsidiary’s activities.
Narrative Report

engineering services for governmental agencies (Federal, State and Local). Work is federally
funded and abides by the Brooks Act; requiring selection based on competency,
qualifications and experience. OES has been certified as a Disadvantage Business Enterprise
in the State of Wisconsin.
b. Explanation of the Corporation’s current place within the market
OESC operates in a fiercely competitive and expanding market. An abundance of
Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) firms provide similar services offered by
OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance reputation, network, price,
geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel (flexibility).
Three of the top five federal spending agencies awarding non-competitive contracts are
OESC customers.
c. Explanation of the outlines of strategies by the Corporation for improved value in the
market
OESC’s subsidiaries are positioned to take advantage of existing relationships, contracts and
networks OTIE established since 2008.
We constantly evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and
State markets. Each subsidiary operates based on primary NAICS codes with secondary
NAIC codes that overlap with the sister companies.
d. Explanation of the Corporation’s relative performance vs. competitors and
identification of key competitors within the market
Our competitors include: Small Businesses, Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs); Native
American Owned, tribally-owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations
(NHOs). Each of these businesses is in a category of small business that may be awarded
prime contracts without competition. Oneida ESC subsidiaries also compete against other
8(a) firms for set-aside acquisitions, including small businesses that are categorized as
Woman-Owned, HUB Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others.
Finally, Oneida ESC competes in the full and open markets without restrictions.
Typical competitors for OTIE include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees
in NAICS 562910. Another area of significant competition is the regional Transportation
Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI DOT work (OES).

e. Explanation of any material changes or developments in the market or nature of
business the Corporation is primarily engaged in since the last reporting period.
There have been no material changes or developments in our market. We are closely
monitoring the government budgeting process.
f. impacted due to the delays.Identification of the primary goals and targets of the
Corporation and progress made towards accomplishment of the same
Goals for Oneida ESC Group

Growth at a reasonable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for
OESC is when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission priorities.
Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:
Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where OTIE, MS2, SRS and OES have
successful past performance; and where personnel involved in such projects have established
strong relationships with teaming partners and clients. Opportunities continue to emerge
based on combined efforts of OESC’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to
include Department of Defense agencies (various bases – Navy, Air Force, and Army),
Environmental Protection Agency, WI Department of Transportation, Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewer District and the Oneida Nation.
New target clients include extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on
“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities
geographically related to OESC offices and other Tribal Nations.
g. Identification of key elements for success in strategies given, including risks, resources
and relations available and needed in order to successfully fulfill outlined strategies
Key elements for success in the OESC model include:
• Meeting performance indicators, including safety, staff turnover, profitability, staff
utilization, backlog and capacity.
• Adapting to a changing customer base, contract type, or key skill set. We recognize and
reconfigure based on identified needs to delivery strategic growth.
• Identification of contract capacity and access is under regular review.
• Increasing our geographic footprint and capabilities.
Risk in the marketplace
• We operate in highly competitive industries
• Contracting is often erratic and unpredictable; cancellations or delays in pending awards
by government agencies could adversely affect us
• International operations carries additional risk
• Loss of key personnel
• Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.

h. Identification of medium (two to five year) and long (greater than five year) prospects
and sustainability of the Corporation given the present status, strategies and risks
Our medium and long range prospects for sustainability are balanced by business
diversification and consistent project management delivery.

We have successfully groomed long-term business relationships with key US Agencies for
services delivered around the world. Contracting with the US government remains a reliable
strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity.
Medium-term prospects
OESC’s prospects in the two- to five-year term rely on our sturdy performance in
engineering, science and construction to existing clients; adjacent clients/services and
geographic areas; and new service offerings to new clients. OESC continues to focus on
business development and talent acquisition to meet our growth metrics.
Long-term prospects
OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble
and agile, allowing us to focus on governments funding flows.
Continued reliance on low-price awards is a staple in our business model and we continue to
adjust the pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive. We continue to concentrate
marketing efforts on maximizing our return on investment through expanding support for
existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms
that need either small business participation or our specialized expertise.
i. Explanation of market growth (if any) experienced by the Corporation, identifying
sources of growth (i.e., organic growth through market share increase, volume of
business increase, acquisition of competition or other assets, etc.)
We have made a concerted effort on our fence-to-fence contracts and we also see growth in
our traditional engineering services such as civil, mechanical, electrical, etc.

k. Summary and status of any pending legal action to which the Corporation is a party
and any relevant government regulation to which the Corporation may be subject.
On September 20, 2018 Mission Support Services filed an arbitration demand against its JV
partner, Belonger Corporation. Belonger failed to provide funds to the JV sufficient to pay its
share of the JV loss on the Building 3200 project. This failure is causing MS2 to fund Belonger’s
share of the loss. The total amount of the demand against Belonger is $614,086. A pre-hearing
conference is scheduled for November 28 and is attended by legal counsel only. MS2 has
attempted to conduct settlement discussions with Belonger, however Belonger is unwilling to
negotiate. MS2 is preparing for arbitration. The hearing will be bifurcated, with liability tried
first. The liability hearing was held March 14-15, 2019. The arbitrator did not rule in MS2’s
favor on the liability. The hearing on damages was scheduled for October 17, 2019, however, the
hearing was not necessary. The parties settled the matter and agreed that neither party would
owe any further payment to the other, and both parties gave up their right to be reimbursed any
sums from the other party.

Room at the Norbert Hill Center.
Activities Summary
For the 4th quarter of FY19, three regular CDPC meetings were held in July, August, and September.
Highlights
Safe Gathering Place
CDPC supported the Safe Gathering Place. They recommended that the OBC fund the Facility in July.
This will provide a safe place for our homeless to receive some relief from the cold this winter.
Safe Gathering place fall in line with Kanolukhwa’sla (compassion, caring identity, and joy of being) and

Twahwahtsi’lay^ (All of us are family)
Bicentennial

They have identified the Sub Committee’s for planning the event. Individual members and initial tasks
were given out. The Bicentennial team continue to work on making sure the event is a success.
The Bicentennial team has been working diligently on creating a charter and creating a logo.
CDPC felt that they should change the name to Bicentennial.
Both the Cultural Heritage Site improvements and the Bicentennial fall in line with the broad goals of
the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging
Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us).

Industrial Hemp
The team was able to plant Industrial Hemp Fields. The team has 10 acres of industrial hemp planted
specifically for fiber. 20 acres of industrial hemp planted specifically for grain. 1 acre, a greenhouse,
and Oneida Aquaponics are growing Industrial Hemp specifically used for CBD. The record rain falls
are affecting the growth of the plants in the fields. Plants are being tested to make sure the plants follow
guidelines.
The Hemp team is looking for new fields to grow hemp for next year. We are looking for the best kind of
soil and the right type of dampness of the areas. The fields were looking for volunteers to harvest the
hemp. The team is also doing a feasible study for the tribe. One concern is whether the state legalizes t
marijuana.
An industrial hemp pilot project would fall in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan
for Promoting Positive Community Relations and Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything
here to sustain us).
Upper Oneida Project
Upper Oneida Project is to transform the Upper Oneida area into a park/multi-functional area. The team
is still looking for grants funds to help pay for the project. This fall they will finish the on-street parking
and curb and gutter. The project is on schedule
The Upper Oneida Project falls in line with the broad goal of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan for
Promoting Positive Community Relations and the overall project is in line with the broad goals of
Encouraging Tsi> NiyukwalihoT^ (We have everything here to sustain us) and Inspiring
Yukwatsistay^a (Our fire, our spirit within each of us).
Food Innovation Center
The Oneida Food Innovation Center will provide a visible anchor to our integrated Agricultural Strategy
by an expanded facility to teach people how to process and prepare healthy native foods. It will serve
not only Oneida tribal members but also fresh food producers, entrepreneurs, and those looking for
