General Tribal Council

The General Tribal Council (GTC) is the governing body of the Oneida Tribe and consists of all enrolled Oneida tribal members who are 21 years of age or older who are present at a duly called GTC meeting. The GTC meets on the first Monday of January and July of each year, and may also meet when the Business Committee Chairman calls a special GTC meeting as needed or as requested through a GTC petition signed by at least 50 qualified GTC members. Since the adoption of the Oneida Constitution in 1936, the GTC delegated much of its authority to the Oneida Business Committee.
