Guidebooks and Policies by Division

The Oneida Indian Nation is the largest employer in Madison and Oneida counties and one of the top employers in the 16 counties comprising Central New York. The Oneida Indian Nation’s entity, Turning Stone Enterprises, is the employer for the Oneida Indian Nation’s operations and enterprises. The Oneida Indian Nation’s operations are generally divided into three divisions: Government Services, Business Operations and Professional Services. Each of these divisions has a separate Guidebook.
