Opening the doors once again, five days later, is a big step in getting back to the normal course of business for employees, customers, and the community.
“[Improved] frame of mind and frame of business and moving things forward, so that we can at least reach out and say we’re on our way to healing,” said Oneida Nation Public Relations Director Bobbi Webster. “The parking lots are filling up and we’re not hearing anything negative right now. It seems like people are getting back to the regular course of business.”
Webster says the Oneida Nation has seen an outpouring of support, condolences, prayers, and encouragement from all over the country – including contact from the governor’s office, local representatives, the Brown County Executive’s office, Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau, other tribes across the state, and even the National Indian Gaming Commission and National Congress of American Indians.
