On Friday, June 28, Oneida Indian Nation Members and leadership gathered for a grand opening ceremony at the new Mary C. Winder Community Center.
The 90,000-square-foot community center is among the largest tribal centers of its kind in the country and will offer resources to support cultural engagement, community building and more.
Ahead of the opening event, Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter welcomed United States Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland to visit the new community center as part of her listening tour with several New York State tribal nations.
The Oneida Nation says that the Mary C. Winder Community Center represents a historic investment by the nation in strengthening the Oneida community today and for generations to come.
Inside, the community center is home to a field house with a box lacrosse field. [WSYR]

The Ducks shared the clip of their venue in Eugene earlier on Monday. It provides a panoramic view of what the virtual field looks like and gives an exciting preview of what’s to come later this month. [On3]
A $13 million project at Manchester Regional High School will overhaul the oldest wing of the building while positioning students on the leading edge of music and stage production, officials said.
The work now underway will also cater to the fastest-growing segment of the high school population: hardcore gamers.
Their club was promoted this past year to the varsity level, and they competed in Garden State Esports — the biggest scholastic esports league in the U.S.
As part of the project, a 12-foot by 34-foot video wall is being hung as a stage backdrop in the high school auditorium. The expectation is that the massive screen will be used for esports tournaments. [The Record]
