Meetings with a brief outline of topics remaining, be mailed to each Oneida household.3) I am inquiring if you cancel a General Tribal Council Meeting if any Oneida Tribal member

dies, or is it just for the Oneida who live on the reservation?4} When I request a copy of the Oneida Tribal Constitution, I receive a copy that does not have

all the revisions and resolutions included. I am requesting that a copy be made available thatis up to date including any resolutions that impact on the constitution.
