>> LET'S.
THANK YOU.
>> THE ONEIDA NATION HELD A
HEALING AND BLESSING CEREMONY
WEDNESDAY AFTER A SHOOTING AT
THE TRIBE'S CASINO LEFT TWO
PEOPLE DEAD AND ONE IN THE
HOSPITAL.
THEY 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.
>> OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE
FAMILIES OF THOSE TAKEN FROM US
AND OUR COLLEAGUES WHO REMAIN
HOSPITALIZED.
WE GAIN SOLACE FROM THE FACT WE
NEED TIME TO PRIVATELY GRIEVE
FROM THIS LIFE-CHANGING
