The Oneida Nation held a healing and blessing ceremony Wednesday after a shooting at the tribe’s casino last Saturday left two people dead and one in the hospital. Tribal members burned tobacco and offered prayers during the outdoor event and called the smudging ceremony a responsibility of the Oneida people to care for the recovery and spiritual needs of the community.
Steve Ninham:
Our thoughts are with the families of those taken from us and our colleagues who remain hospitalized. We gain solace from the fact that you understand that our team needs and deserves time to privately grieve and cope from this life-changing event.
Frederica Freyberg:
The investigation into the shooting is still ongoing.
