Oneida Indian Nation

The Oneida Indian Nation (OIN) or Oneida Nation is a federally recognized tribe of Oneida people in the United States. The tribe is headquartered in Verona, New York, where the tribe originated and held territory prior to European colonialism, and continues to hold territory today. They are Iroquoian-speaking people, and one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, or Haudenosaunee. The Oneida are known as "America's first allies" as they were the first, and one of the few, Iroquois nations to support the American cause. Three other federally recognized Oneida tribes operate in locations where they migrated or were removed to during and after the American Revolutionary War: one in Wisconsin in the United States, and two in Ontario, Canada.

The OIN was a party to land claim suits against the state of New York for treaties and purchases it made after the American Revolutionary War without ratification by the United States Congress, as required under the US Constitution. The litigation covered complex issues related to trust lands, Class III gaming, property, and sales tax collection. The 2013 landmark agreement entered into on May 16, 2013, between Madison and Oneida Counties, the OIN, and the state resolved these issues.

Today, the Oneida Indian Nation maintains sovereignty over roughly 18,000 acres of land in Madison and Oneida County, New York where they operate a number of businesses under the 2013 landmark agreement between the OIN, the State of New York, and Madison and Oneida Counties. These businesses include a resort with a Class III gambling casino.

Government
The tribe is headquartered in Verona, New York, and the Nation Representative is Ray Halbritter. Halbritter has led the OIN since 1985, alongside Richard Chrisjohn; an additional leader. In 1993, the United States government formally recognized Mr. Halbritter as the OIN leader. The tribal council consists of 8 clan members. Traditionally, the male council members are responsible for daily decisions. The Clan Mothers make long-term decisions. Tradition also requires Nation leaders and Members to consider the impact on the next seven generations when making decisions.

OIN Court
The OIN has its own court system. The current presiding judges are the Honorable Robert G. Hurlbutt and the Honorable John J. Brunetti. The Court is governed by its own Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rules of Evidence, Rules of Debt Collection, and Rules of Peacemaking. The Court operates under the guidelines on traditional Oneida values of peaceful mediation and reconciliation.

OIN police department
The OIN has its own police department that coordinates with New York State, Madison and Oneida County, and local law enforcement. "Deputized by federal authority, the Oneida Nation Police Department was the first tribal police force in the U.S. to receive accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies and is a professionally trained law enforcement agency empowered by the sovereign authority of the Oneida Indian Nation." Gary Henderson is the current police chief.

Treaties
In addition to being a member of the nation of the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua, the OIN is a member of the following treaties:
 * Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation; known as the Jay Treaty
 * Treaty with the Six Nations, 1784; known as the Veterans Treaty
 * Treaty with the Six Nations, 1789; known as the Veterans Treaty
 * Treaty with the Oneida, Etc., 1794; known as the Veterans Treaty

Membership
The tribal council of the OIN has established the rules for citizenship: it requires documentation of at least 1/4 blood ancestry (equivalent to one grandparent) through the maternal line. The OIN and other Iroquois nations have had a matrilineal kinship system, with descent and inheritance through the mother's line.

Clans
The OIN consists of three clans: Turtle, Wolf, and Bear. Each Nation member belongs to one of these clans. A child is considered born into the mother's clan, and takes social status from her people.

Creation
Legend has it that clan names and the matrilineal kinship system came from a response to issues that arose during the Haudenosaunee mourning process. Prior to clans being created, the entire Oneida village would mourn after the death of a village member. This caused problems as important decisions were put on hold during the time of mourning. Village leaders were at a loss as to how to continue everyday life while at the same time observing traditional mourning practices. A young village member approached the leaders with a possible solution. He suggested sending three female elders to the nearby river and having them build a fire and spend the night. At first light the following morning the women were to pray to the Creator and take notice of the first animal that approached the river. Once the women had seen an animal, they were to report back to the village leaders. The elders put the young man's plan into action. Three women were sent to the river. Upon their return one woman reported that she had seen a turtle at the edge of the river. The second woman reported seeing a wolf running along the river. The third woman stated that she had seen a bear feeding in the river along the rocks. Following the reports of the women, village leaders named the Oneida clans the Turtle, Wolf and Bear clans. They determined that a village member's clan would be passed through the mother's line from generation to generation, as women have the Creator's gift to create life. The Oneida Nation is still a matrilineal kinship society. After the clans were established, the people developed their practices for a mourning process. When there was a death in the village, the clan members of that person would mourn. The members of a second clan would console them, and the members of the third clan would carry on village business as usual.

Meaning
The Haudenosaunee people are made up of several Nations. Among these nations are kinship groups called clans. While Nation members have their immediate family of parents and siblings, they also have an extended family of fellow Clan members. As a matrilineal society, each clan member is born into their clan by their mother. The three Oneida Nation clans are named after animals, the turtle, wolf, and bear. Each animal is considered to have certain positive characteristics or attributes. The turtle teaches patience, as well as the importance of never giving up. Turtles are also seen to be representative of strength and solidarity. They are thought to be old and wise, and are well respected. The wolf teaches the importance of using your ears, listening and being watchful. They embody a strong sense of family. Finally, the bear is seen as gentle and strong. Bears are seen as having strength in knowing that it takes more strength not to raise your hand and strike, than to give into the impulse to strike.

Businesses
The tribe set up Oneida Nation Enterprises, through which it operates a number of businesses in Central New York. As of 2013, it was the largest employer of the area, with approximately 5,000 jobs total. Business interests include:

Bingo and gasoline
In the early 1990s, the OIN opened a bingo hall. Ray Halbritter (Oneida), opened a gas station known as SavOn across the street. The cheaper gasoline made the gas station popular among the community.

Eventually the OIN bought SavOn and expanded it into multiple locations within the area. Today SavOn (or SāvOn) is a chain of gas stations and convenience stores in Oneida and Madison counties, owned and operated by the Oneida Indian Nation.

Casinos and resorts
The OIN opened several casinos. The first was the Turning Stone Casino & Resort, in 1993. After the 2013 landmark settlement, the OIN opened the Yellow Brick Road Casino in June 2015. And on March 3, 2018, OIN opened the Point Place Casino in Bridgeport, NY.

Turning Stone Resort Casino
The tribe's most profitable business is the Turning Stone Resort & Casino, which has been expanding continuously since its opening in 1993. The current game-space is approximately 100000 ft2. Begun as a bingo hall, it has been developed as a large, Class III gaming facility and resort. The entertainment site includes nationally ranked hotels and restaurants. Many shows are performed throughout the year. The resort is the host for a fall Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) tournament. Some parties have challenged the tribal-state gaming compact between the OIN and New York state. The 2013 agreement between the OIN, Madison and Oneida Counties, and New York resolved all challenges to the casino.

In 2016, the casino and resort underwent a $20 million upgrade and renovation project to provide better smoke-free areas on the gambling floor, improve ventilation facilities, add a cafeteria, and add/upgrade rooms.

"Yellow Brick Road" Casino
In June 2015, the OIN opened a casino based on themes from the popular book and film, The Wizard of Oz, indirectly honoring writer L. Frank Baum, who was from Central New York. The facility is located in Tops Plaza, 800 W. Genesee St., Chittenango, NY and contains 67000 ft2 of gaming space with over 400 slot machines; open 24/7. Table games are open Sunday-Thursday from 10am to 12am, and Friday & Saturday from 10am to 2am.

Other Native Americans have criticized this choice, as Baum was noted for supporting genocide against the Sioux Nation. The Washington Post noted that their choice was a problem, as Mr. Halbritter led the effort to force the Washington Redskins to change their name by dropping the reference to Native Americans because Mr. Halbritter believes it is derogatory to all Native Americans.

In recent years, the casino has since been renamed to the YBR Casino & Sports Book, as the company is making efforts to move away from the Wizard of Oz theme. New renovations include additional table games, a six-lane bowling alley, an indoor virtual driving range by Topgolf, and a large sportsbook area.

Point Place Casino
Located at 450 NY-31, Bridgeport, NY, this facility contains 65000 ft2 of gaming space. It is the newest casino the Oneida Nation Enterprises operates and it is entirely smoke-free. Visitors can choose from over 500 slot machines and 20 classic table games. Table game hours are Sunday - Thursday 10am - 12am and Friday - Saturday 10am - 3am.

Other business ventures
The OIN has purchased a marina on the south-eastern shore of Oneida Lake and many plots of land in the area.

The Indian Country Media Network (ICMN) was owned by the Oneida Nation of New York until 2017; it included the Indian Country Today online newspaper. That year the OIN donated the news organization's assets to the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). The NCAI has continued to publish Indian Country Today online.

OIN land litigation
Since the 1970s, the OIN have been involved in several lawsuits involving real property. In the 70s, the OIN filed suit seeking recovery of the original land grant contained in the 1794 Treaty of Canadaigua arguing the land was improperly transferred in violation of federal law and the US Constitution. As time progressed, the OIN began purchasing real property within this original grant as it became available. The OIN asserted its limited sovereignty status to claim the properties exempt from county and state property taxes. This culminated in several additional suits preceding the 2013 landmark agreement.

Land claim
In 1970 and 1974, the OIN, Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and the Oneida Nation of the Thames (Canada) filed lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York; they alleged that the reservation land granted to them by a treaty between the OIN and New York State was taken from the Oneida people (from their historic territory) and the treaty was never ratified by the Senate, making it unconstitutional. The state did not have authority under the US Constitution to deal directly with the Indian nations. The Oneida said that they still legally owned the lands in question.

In 1970, the OIN filed a "test" case in federal court, suing Oneida and Madison counties for two years' rent (1968-1969) on county-owned acreage; the rent amounted to $16,694. The OIN argue that as the original action by the state was unconstitutional, they still owned the land and were owed rent by the counties. The United States District Court for the Northern District of New York dismissed the action, and the OIN appealed. On July 12, 1972, the Second Circuit United States Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision. The OIN petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari In Oneida Indian Nation v. County of Oneida (1974), the Supreme Court decided in favor of the Oneida Indian Nation.

On July 12, 1977, on remand to the District Court with Judge Edmund Port presiding, the Court sided with the OIN. The counties appealed to the Second Circuit, which affirmed Judge Port's decision. The counties had argued the OIN did not have standing for its claim, and the claim was too old and should not be considered. The counties petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of cert., which the court granted.

On March 4, 1985, the U.S. Supreme Court found in favor of the OIN in a 5 to 4 vote. The Court opined on three principles: "'The question whether equitable considerations should limit the relief available to the present day Oneida Indians was not addressed by the Court of Appeals or presented to this Court by petitioners. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether other considerations may be relevant to the final disposition of this case should Congress not exercise its authority to resolve these far-reaching Indian claims.'"
 * that the OIN had a common-law right to sue in federal courts;
 * that such claims were justiciable; and
 * there was no state or federal statute of limitations that would bar such claims. The majority opinion includes the following footnote:

Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in his dissent: "'This decision upsets long-settled expectations in the ownership of real property in the Counties of Oneida and Madison, New York, and the disruption it is sure to cause will confirm the common law wisdom that ancient claims are best left in repose. The Court, no doubt, believes that it is undoing a grave historical injustice, but in so doing it has caused another, which only Congress may now rectify.'"

In 1998, the United States Department of Justice intervened in the lawsuits on the plaintiff's behalf in order for the claim to proceed against New York State because the state asserted its immunity under the 11th Amendment. Based on City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation and Cayuga Indian Nation v New York, the Defendants moved for summary judgment. On May 21, 2007, Judge Kahn dismissed the OIN's possessory land claims and allowed the non-possessory claims to proceed.

Both parties appealed Judge Kahn's decision. In a decision dated August 9, 2010, the Second Circuit opined that the non-possessory claims could not proceed and remanded the case back to the district court to enter a judgement in favor of the State and Counties. The OIN appealed to the US Supreme Court.

Status of former tribal lands re-acquired on the open market

The OIN has purchased lands which had been part of its historic reservation, as established by treaty with New York State. These had later been sold to the state and subsequently to non-Indians. For some time, the OIN and the state believed that the OIN's purchase of the land restored the property to its status as Indian Territory under Oneida possession.

State law prohibits Class III gaming facilities. The OIN developed its resort and casino on what was understood to be its federal reservation, where that action was authorized under tribal sovereignty.

The city of Sherrill challenged the OIN by trying to collect property taxes on the land the tribe bought in that jurisdiction, where it developed its casino. In City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation, US Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg determined that the land the casino is on was part of the original tribal lands. But, Justice Ginsburg held that although the land may be part of an ancient reservation land grant, as the OIN had not controlled it for more than 200 years, during which time it was non-Indian territory, the tribe could not re-establish its immunity (from state law) over those lands.

To "re-establish sovereign authority" over ancient tribal lands which the Oneida had re-acquired on the open market, the U.S. Supreme Court said that the "proper avenue" for the Oneida Indian Nation was through § 465 of the Indian Reorganization Act. The OIN needed to apply to the Department of the Interior to place the disputed lands into federal trust.

Comments on the court decision varied. The issue in Sherrill was whether the city could levy property taxes on OIN's re-acquired tribal lands. The US Supreme Court determined that the City of Sherrill could levy property taxes. But the court failed to overturn the Second Circuit's finding that the land qualified as Indian Territory.

OIN supporters argued that Sherrill stands only to say that the OIN cannot re-instate its tax immunity, but that the land is Indian Land. UCE and its supporters disagreed; they countered that the Sherrill ruling provided a blanket approval for the jurisdictions to foreclose on all OIN property that owe back taxes. Some UCE members interpreted the ruling as making the OIN casino operation illegal under state law, and speculated that it should be closed until the state and the OIN reach a new agreement on gaming.

Land trust application
In April 2005, the OIN applied to the Department of Interior to have this land taken into federal trust on its behalf. By letter dated June 10, 2005, Associate Deputy Secretary Cason advised Ray Halbritter, the tribe's lead on this issue, of its position: "'Department of Interior’s ('DOI') position with respect to certain issues related to the status of OIN lands ... we do not agree with [the] assertion that the Court’s ruling in Sherrill recognizes the continuation of restriction on alienation protections over recently re-acquired lands ... it is our opinion that Court in City of Sherrill unmistakably held that the lands at issue (property interests purchased by OIN on the open market) are subject to real property taxes. In the event these taxes are not paid, we believe such lands are subject to foreclosure. Further, please be advised that the BIA is in the process of taking appropriate action to clarify that its recordation of OIN deeds does not have the legal effect of designating these lands as restricted against alienation pursuant to 25 USC 177.'"

In order to accept the lands as federal trust property, the BIA had to prepare an environmental assessment of the action. On February 27, 2008, the BIA released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on taking the lands in question into trust on behalf of the OIN. It recommended that 13084 acre be placed into trust. After this announcement, the DOI gave a 30-day comment period and announced that it would have a decision on or after March 25, 2008.

Some government officials expressed concern about creating a "patchwork of taxable and tax-exempt properties," making a "jurisdictional nightmare." However, a sting operation conducted in conjunction with OIN Police and the Oneida County Sheriff disproved this argument.

In opposing the OIN's land-into-trust application, New York State raised the question of whether the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) applies to the OIN, as the OIN had rejected reorganizing according to its rules, by a vote of 12 to 57 on June 17, 1936. According to the letter from Richard Platkin, Counsel to the Governor, to Franklin Keel, citing Michael T. Smith's Memorandum to Director, Office of Indian Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs, dated February 24, 1982, "the Oneida were considered not eligible, but in a reconsideration based on the discussion in the case of 'US v Boylan', the Department of Interior changed its position and conducted the referendum."

The OIN have noted that, as early as 1910, they have been a federally recognized tribe. The OIN is part of the original Oneida tribe that was party to the 1794 Treaty of Canadaigua. In unrelated cases involving other Indian tribes and whether the IRA applied to them, the BIA issued a ruling that the fact that a tribe conducted a vote related to reorganizing under the IRA, was sufficient to establish that an Indian Tribe was under federal jurisdiction in 1934. A 1980 BIA memorandum determined that the phrase "recognized tribe now under federal jurisdiction" includes tribes that existed in 1934 and had a continuing course of dealing with the United States or some other legal obligation. To this day, the United States honors its legal obligations to the OIN under the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua. Any flawed claim that the OIN is not a federally recognized tribe was unequivocally debunked in the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision in 2016, where the Court affirmed, inter alia, that the OIN is an Indian Tribe within the meaning of the IRA.

On December 23, 2013, the BIA issued an amendment to its 2008 record of decision, accepting 13,082 acres into federal trust. In that amendment, the BIA unequivocally determined that the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 is applicable to the OIN not only by virtue of the vote held, but also by the Boylan litigation, the 1794 Treaty of Canadaigua, and the historical record. As noted below, New York State, and Oneida and Madison Counties have agreed to this decision's validity and discontinued any legal challenge, in perpetuity.

In March 2008, County Executive Anthony Picente held a public meeting to discuss the possibility of negotiating a settlement before the March 25 deadline. Congressman Arcuri tried to stall the decision by seeking to block such a settlement through legislation. While criticized by both sides for killing any progress made between the two sides, Arcuri said he wanted to encourage negotiations.

In January 2008, Halbritter sent a proposed settlement offer to the state and the county, but did not receive a response before DOI announced its decision. The OIN offered to negotiate an agreement pertaining to future trust applications, but the state and local governments have not responded.

On May 20, 2008, the DOI announced that it would take 13004 acre into trust. The OIN offered to negotiate and settle the issues involved, while the state and county officials promised continued litigation.

On or about June 17, 2008, two groups filed separate lawsuits in federal court challenging the DOI's decision.;  UCE's suit challenged the DOI's authority to take the land into trust under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, alleging that this trust decision violates the United States Constitution. The other group alleged that the DOI's decision was arbitrary and capricious because some of the trust land is subject to outstanding litigation between the group and the OIN.

On June 19, 2008 (the deadline to file suit), New York State, Oneida and Madison counties filed their suits in federal court. The state and county governments' arguments were similar to those of UCE. The opposing parties alleged that the DOI's decision violates the United States constitution and that the DOI's decision was arbitrary.

By letter dated January 7, 2009, Steven Miskinis, Esq. of the U.S. Department of Justice notified the Court that the U.S. has taken 18 acre of land known as the former United States Air Force Space Command Complex at the Verona Research Facility, Germany Road, Verona, New York into trust for the OIN. Two days later, the Assistant Attorney General for the State of New York objected to this action. He requested an expedited conference and asked that the United States voluntarily refrain from any further efforts to transfer land into trust for the OIN. Judge Kahn dismissed UCE's complaint, including the failed theory that the IRA is unconstitutional, on the basis of longstanding and settled law on this issue.

As detailed below, on May 16, 2013, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, Madison County Board of Supervisors Chairman John Becker, and Oneida Indian Nation leader Ray Halbritter announced a deal that settled all of their differences. Before the deal became effective, the majority of each government's legislative branches had to approve it. The key components of the agreement are as follows:
 * 1) The OIN will pay 25% of its profits from its new slot machines to the state;
 * 2) The State agrees to allow a maximum of 25,000 acre to be placed into federal trust;
 * 3) The OIN will have exclusive gaming rights within a 10-county region;
 * 4) All pending litigation will be withdrawn; and
 * 5) The OIN will charge its own sales tax on cigarettes and gas sales made to non-Indian purchasers, to be paid to the state. Of the 25% revenue that the state will receive, it will give half to the governments of Oneida and Madison counties.

Washington Redskins
In 2013, the OIN renewed a campaign to compel the Washington Redskins to change their team name and mascot. The OIN leader Halbritter launched the website "Change the Mascot." On July 13, 2020, the Washington Redskins team ceded to public pressure and announced its decision to retire the team logo and change its name.

Issues
The OIN has both internal and external opposition. Internally, members of the Wolf Clan in particular protest Halbritter's assumption of power and dissolving of the traditional Oneida government, which was based on hereditary leaders for life.

Internal governance issues
Shenandoah v. United States DOI was a lawsuit that challenged the legitimacy and authority of Ray Halbritter to act on behalf of the OIN. Specifically,

"'In 1977, members of the Oneida Nation appointed Halbritter and two other Nation members as interim representatives of the Nation. On April 25, 1993, the Grand Council, consisting of representatives from all six Iroquois nations, including the Oneida Nation, purported to remove Halbritter from his position as interim Nation representative. The Department [of Interior] acknowledged the removal on August 10, 1993, but the next day stayed its acknowledgment pending BIA review. After requesting the Nation to conduct a referendum to select a representative, the Department agreed to Halbritter's proposal to submit 'statements of support' from Nation members. On February 4, 1994, the Department notified Halbritter that it would continue to recognize him as the Nation's permanent representative until such time as he resigned or was removed by the Nation in accordance with certain procedures. According to plaintiffs, on May 21, 1995, the Nation once again removed Halbritter from his position as Oneida representative. Although informed of Halbritter's alleged second removal, the Department had not acted upon that notification by the time of oral argument, and as of the time of this opinion, we have received no information to the contrary.'"

The district court granted the defendants' motions to dismiss both the non-habeas and habeas claims of the plaintiffs. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the district court.

External issues
External opposition comes from organizations such as Upstate Citizens for Equality (UCE), a now-disbanded group that opposed Haudenosaunee land claims in upstate New York. UCE also opposed the OIN being able to operate its enterprises tax-free on land it asserted sovereign status. These issues were resolved by the 2013 landmark agreement.

Tax issues
Disputes have arisen with the state over the OIN's economic advantage of operating the Class III gaming facility without having to collect or pay state taxes on retail sales at the resort. The tribe does pay a portion of the revenues to the state under the gaming compact, (essentially in lieu of taxes). The OIN and other parties believed operations on property it controlled were tax free. City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation.

Vernon Downs opened a casino to try to compete with Turning Stone. Prior to February 2008, the racino was heavily taxed under state law. Vernon Downs struggled to operate and, in late 2007, many of the original investors pulled out of the venture. The Upstate Citizens for Equality and supporters attributed to the OIN being able to operate its casino tax free.

OIN supporters attribute Vernon Downs's troubles to the state collecting a total of 54% of the revenue in taxes (50% to the state education fund and 4% sales tax), making profitability difficult. On February 11, 2008, Director Steve Gural closed down the racino at Vernon Downs for three days. He was trying to make the state decrease its rate of taxation of the facility, to enable it to be more profitable.[8] This period of closure cost the state approximately $1.5 million in lost tax revenues. (The state has earmarked revenues from gambling for education, which was part of the original campaign to have voters approve the state's authorization of gaming activities.)[8] Many argued that the state should not call this "lost revenue." Building the track created the revenue; without the track, there would be no revenue. The track was facing insolvency.

The OIN asserted that it made up for this lack of land tax by donating to local schools in amounts that exceed the taxes which the county would normally receive from the land plots, in a program known as the Silver Covenant Chain Education Grants. As tensions increased between the various local governments, the state government, and the OIN, the OIN decreased or stopped the donations.

Stockbridge Valley School has several OIN children as students, but the OIN has discontinued grants to the school because it disapproved of the views of one teacher. In late fall 2003, an OIN representative contacted the Stockbridge Valley Community School District and advised that it would not make the Silver Covenant unless a particular teaching assistant was fired.

Cayuga Indian Nation of New York v Gould is a case brought on the issue of whether federally recognized Indian Tribes, such as the OIN, have to collect state sales taxes from retail sales to non-Indian consumers made within their reservation. According to the Court of Appeals in Gould, the Indian Tribe is not subject to State tax law. For purposes of the State Tax Law, the Nation's retail operations on its lands, even if reacquired on the open market, are not subject to state tax law.

Potential pact between Oneida County and the OIN in 2009
On May 8, 2009, Anthony Picente, Oneida County Executive, announced a pact between Oneida County and the OIN. The Oneida County Board of Legislators and the State legislature would have had to approve this pact within the next 60 days. If this pact had been approved, the OIN would have paid $55 million to Oneida County over the next 10 years, beginning with a $30 million lump sum payment the same year. Additionally, the OIN would have made make Silver Covenant Grants for the next five years, in order to apply for more trust land without county opposition. In return for this, the county would have agreed to drop its lawsuits and satisfy all pending tax lien and tax foreclosure proceedings. The OIN would have agreed to impose a sales tax on all businesses situated on its lands equal to Oneida County's sales tax rate. This OIN sales tax would have been imposed on all non-Indian patrons as well as tribal members.

The pact would have required the Oneida County Sheriff and the OIN Police Department to negotiate a law enforcement pact to settle questions of jurisdictional authority and operations. On May 27, 2009, the County Board of Legislators rejected the proposed pact, citing many reasons for rejecting the proposed agreement.

2013 landmark agreement between New York State, Madison and Oneida Counties, and the OIN
On May 16, 2013, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the OIN reached a settlement agreement between the state, and Oneida and Madison counties. The agreement resolved multiple legal issues between the parties. Pursuant to the agreement, the OIN would pay 25% of its revenue to the State, a quarter of which is paid to Oneida County and Madison County. These monies are to offset any property and sales taxes the Counties would otherwise receive if the property remained on the tax rolls.

The State and Madison and Oneida counties agree to withdraw their objections to the OIN's numerous land-trust applications, with a cap of 25000 acres that could ultimately be transferred into trust by the U.S. Federal Government. According to the agreement, all of the (potential total) 25,000 acres of OIN trust land would be within the physical boundaries of the reservation of the Oneida Nation as described in Article II of the Treaty of Canandaigua, 7 Stat. 44 (1794). At the time of the 2013 Agreement, 4,366 acres of land were held in trust for the Nation. However, given that the State and Madison and Oneida counties agreed to withdraw their objections to the OIN's land-trust applications as part of the settlement, the OIN's applications were granted, therefore, the agreement effectively transferred an additional 13,004 acres of land to trust for the OIN, bringing the OIN's total trust land to 17,370 acres. As of 2022, the OIN has roughly 18,000 acres in trust.

The OIN will have a 10-county (Oneida, Madison, Onondaga, Cayuga, Herkimer, Oswego, Cortland, Chenango, Otsego, and Lewis counties) geographic gambling monopoly. The OIN will implement a sales tax system to tax products sold to non-Indians on Indian Territory, such as cigarettes. And the agreement would terminate all related litigation between the OIN, the state, and Madison and Oneida Counties. This agreement required the State Legislature, the Oneida County and Madison County Boards of Legislators, the US Department of the Interior, and the Judiciary to ratify this agreement.

On May 28, 2013, the Oneida County Board of Legislators approved the agreement in a 16–13 vote. On May 29, 2013, New York State, through Governor Cuomo, signed the agreement. On May 30, 2013, the Madison County Board of Supervisors approved the agreement in a weighted vote of 847–653. On January 1, 2014, the US Department of the Interior approved of the agreement. On June 22, 2013, both the state Senate (48-11) and the state Assembly (83-44) approved the agreement. The final entity to approve the agreement was the Judiciary. On March 4, 2014, US District Court Judge Kahn approved the settlement agreement. On September 4, 2014, the 13000 acres of OIN real property was formally transferred into US trust.

On August 19, 2013, the Towns of Vernon and Verona jointly filed a lawsuit to oppose the ratified settlement, citing a violation of their freedom of speech and equal protection. On October 30, 2013, US District Court Judge Kahn remanded the lawsuit to the state court system because the towns lacked standing. On June 27, 2014, Albany County Supreme Court denied and dismissed the lawsuit.

OIN revenue sharing agreement
Oneida County offered an OIN revenue sharing agreement with at least five municipalities affected most by the 2013 landmark agreement. The five municipalities offered this deal are the City of Sherrill, Town of Sylvan, Town of Verona, Village of Vernon, and Town of Augusta. On May 27, 2014, the Sherrill City Commission voted 3–1 to accept $160,000 annually from Oneida County, in exchange for the current commission and future commissions waiving their right to challenge the settlement. On May 29, 2014, the Vernon Village Board unanimously agreed to receive annual payments of $60,000 from Oneida County in exchange for the current board and future boards waiving their right to challenge the settlement. On June 7, 2014, the Town of Augusta accepted an agreement with Oneida County. By a 3–1 vote, the town will receive $107,500 a year as compensation for lost property tax revenue based on OIN trust lands.

Since then, several other municipalities and school districts have requested to become part of the OIN revenue sharing agreement. However, to do this, Oneida County is trying to undo its agreements with the prior municipalities in order to do a new agreement that covers all of the affected municipalities. This has drawn strong opposition from the original municipalities that accepted the initial agreement.

'Car Tuning'
How does scooter tuning = car tuning. A scooter is not a car... anyone else see a problem here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.43.110 (talk) 08:29, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Erased a bit
I erased the following from the "Engine tuning" subsection:

'' AMS, a performance shop in west Chicago. Put over 1000 horsepower to 4 wheels. On a 4G64 platform 4 cylinder. But its not the first.''

The reason is that it's badly written and looks like advertising. If someone wants it back to the article, it should be rewritten and sourced properly. Arny (talk) 08:32, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed change
I propose that we change this from 'Car tuning' to 'Vehicle tuning', since it also mentions motorcycles and scooters.

"tuning" as a term, "car" tuning
First, and most quickly, I agree with some other, there is no need for this article to be based solely on cars. There are trucks modified exactly the same way. Motorcycles. Why write a whole new article to cover them, when logically there is no need to separate them into different articles. The same fundamentals govern them all, unless you want to look at "car tuning" as a lifestyle/cultural thing (which this article doesn't). And even then, the primary motivation is close enough to make them fit together in a single article, easily.

Second, and most importantly, I'd like to bring up "tuning" as a phrase. It's obvious that "car tuning" has been adopted as the "JDM-style", for want of a better phrase, word to describe car modification. But how is this "tuning" a car while adding a full-race Chevy smallblock, traction bars, a hood scoop, roll cage and tubs n/ slicks to your Novanot "car tuning"? How is "building" or "hot rodding" your car different from "tuning" your car? The only difference is the type of cars used by each school of thought (and sadly, the imagined lifestyle/image, which is more important but even less relevant...true of all three of those I mentioned). But "car tuning" as a phrase ought to apply to all cars (and vehicles). If it doesn't for reasons of popular culture, and this is just a self-identifying phrase used to describe people who are "into" a certain stylistic approach. It really needs to make that clear, as "car tuning" is a generic phrase, and if it's going to be accepted as only a certain style of modifying certain types of cars, the article really needs to reflect that.

Which brings me the original point I came here to bring up. Originally "tuning" was in fact engine tuning, back in the days before the aftermarket was glutted with parts you could bolt on, body kits and performance chips. The term "tuning" was adopted by the JDM enthusiasts who liked to street race their cars, and it took a good deal of skill to learn how to make cars go faster using only certain factory or modified factory parts. Suspension tuning was also used to get good drag strip times (in the US...road racing was more popular in Japan, IIRC, but "tuning" as a phrase I believe came from US enthusiasts. In any case, they took "tuning" literally. They wouldn't add body kits to their cars, because they weren't available. When they were, they'd do it only if it actually made the car faster. The whole (I think) ridiculous "hellaflush" look originates from owners lowering their suspensions to lower center-of-gravity, which makes the car handle better and have less wind resistance. Now, people take good cars and "slam" them to the ground, ruining the suspension geometry, stuffing tires that are too thin and which rub into the fenderwells on wheels that are bigger and heavier than they need to be, slowing the car down. Then they add a bunch of weight in the form of amplifiers, subwoofers, flatscreens, etc. The cars ride so ridiculously low that if they drive too fast, not only do they hit the bumpstops on potholes, but they risk scraping their expensive body kits, basically turning them into lowriders only able to cruise slowly around town. Sometimes they actually increase engine power (hopefully at least counteracting some of the extra weight and drag they've added to the basic car), but usually they're content with a cool-looking cold air intake and an exhaust tip, which might add 5hp, but only when you're driving at high RPM's, WOT. Splurging on anodized aluminum and "billet" parts to make the engine bay is popular too, even when the internals are totally stock. And yet they call themselves "tuners". Because they can bolt on aftermarket suspension parts and body kits that are designed for that car? Usually not increasing the speed any, and often making handling worse...

But I'm digressing. Point is that once, "tuning" a car was actually "tuning" it, making modifications for the sole purpose of going faster. But people thought those fast cars were pretty cool, so they started cosmetically modifying cars to look similar. I'm sad that "tuning" has gotten watered down by such foolish bullcrap, but if it is indeed what the word is taken to mean by most people now, then the article should mention the actual ORIGINS of the word, and what it once meant, as opposed to what popular culture THINKS it means today. And maybe mention the fact that there are still plenty of people out there who actually tune their cars and engines themselves, even though most of them bring it to a shop and pay them to do the work, so they can drive around and (pretend to) be "tuners". It's still a far cry from when it was DIY in your garage. You couldn't just go out and buy a specially made intake manifold for your engine back then, you had to figure it out yourself, make parts from different sources work together. .45Colt 03:36, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

"Car tuning" vs "Custom car"
It seems to me that this article and the custom car article (a terribly written article by the way) have grown to overlap in many areas and cover very similar topics. It feels like we should draw a line in the sand about what each article should cover and what they shouldn't. Perhaps car tuning should focus purely on performance or mechanical modifications (with only a sidenote in the introduction, like it currently has, about how the term has colloquially grown to include visual mods too), and custom car can focus on either all modifications to cars, or just aesthetic ones. The custom car article needs a full rewrite as is anyway. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this and what you think should happen with these two articles.

Ford Maverick revert
Hey there! I hope you're having a nice day!

I noticed that you reverted my edit at this article. While i would agree that prolly removing the trim levels from that section was not the best idea, i somewhat disagree with the older version of the sentence in the lead (which you restored). I made that change, because it would be a bit verbose repeating "conventional turbo engine option" two times; i also think that my version has a better reading flow.

You seem much more experienced than me; as a new user, i'd really like your thoughts on this.

List of Intel Core processors
Hello Vossanova!

Do you know who else are active editors of the List of Intel Core 2, i3, i5, i7, i9 articles besides you?

I have an intention to redesign all the tables on List of Intel Core processors to use a similar style and layout to what's on List of AMD Ryzen processors, as well as what's on Rocket Lake. In particular, I would like to merge cells where information is the same, get rid of sSpec and part numbers, remove "header rows", as well as move any info that's exactly the same across all the CPUs (e.g. L2 cache, socket) out of the table and into a bulletpoint list above the table.

I would like to start a discussion before doing this, and see if other editors agree with this plan.

I just got back from merging the Core 2, i3, i5, i7, i9 tables into List of Intel Core, per the proposal on the Intel Core talk page, and ran into a major issue: the "post-expand include size limit" has been exceeded halfway through the merge. Every table from the "Penryn", "Penryn-3M" (medium-voltage, 45 nm) section onwards, is not displaying correctly because of this technical limit.

By removing excessive useless unencyclopedic info (such as CPU part numbers), trimming down info in the table, merging cells, it would cut down the data size of the article by massive amounts, thus increasing the number of CPU generations we can have in a single list article, maybe even not having to split up the article again for the time being. When I redesigned AMD Ryzen tables a few months ago, I was pleasantly surprised by how much removing branding rows, and moving common info out of the tables reduced the data size / footprint of the tables, this is without actually removing any information from the tables. Example. — AP 499D25  (talk)  11:10, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi AP 499D25, I don't really know who else, if anybody, actively updates the lists of Intel processors, and I've recently lost interest in updating them myself - especially after the daunting task of adding all the new Xeon CPUs. When I did add new ones, I tried to be consistent with previous tables, making minimal changes to the cpulist template.  The exception was with Alder/Raptor Lake, where I skipped the template to add columns for P-core and E-core.
 * While it would be nice to have all the Core processors in one list instead of one per sub-brand, I can see how it would hit max table limits like you said. For Ryzen, they tried getting around this using templates for each section, but that means having to maintain a bunch of templates rather than a single list.  Otherwise, we're looking at taking data out of the tables.  Part numbers and prices, as much as the OCD part of me enjoys finding and listing them, can be removed.  Columns with a single value, like socket, can be moved into a single bullet point above the table.  I'm not fond of merging rows per column, as different cell shapes can be a bit distracting and aren't useful in sortable tables, but you do you.
 * Just one final nitpick - I hate it when they are sorted by default by highest to lowest number. I've always done lowest to highest in my edits, as I can't see why a normal A-Z/0-9 order wouldn't apply here unless you had a reason for listing fastest first.  Anyway, best of luck. -- Vossanova o< 13:18, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the response.
 * What I think I'll do, since the number of regular editors on these articles is low, is start a requests for comment (RfC) to get input from various random editors around.
 * Anyways, responding to some of the points you have made above:
 * how it would hit max table limits like you said → The PEIS limit isn't a "limit on tables", but rather, how big the article can get when all the templates and code in the article are "executed". So for example if I create a blank page, and write a template on it, which takes only 10 bytes, but that template itself is 1000 bytes, then when the page is loaded, it will "expand" to 1000 bytes or so in size from the template transclusion, even though the "raw size" of the article is 10 bytes. The maximum size for both "raw" and post-expand include is 2 MB, but the raw size of that Intel Core list article as of now is only ~430 KB. The issue occurs about halfway through the article too, which leads me to believe that these Cpulist templates are incredibly inefficient in how much resources they consume for what data is actually provided.
 * For Ryzen, they tried getting around this using templates for each section → This is actually incorrect due to how template transclusion works as noted above. The real reason why the Ryzen article has the tables in templates is to deduplicate them between multiple articles that would have the same table, so when you add a new CPU to a mobile Ryzen 6000 series table for example, you don't have to update the table across the two, three, or four articles that have the same table. Rather, you only need to update the template once and it will go live on all articles that have the same template simultaneously. It does make implementing common changes (e.g. adding a column) across all the tables a tedious process as you would have to do it one by one, but I suppose edits to single tables (e.g. to add a new CPU) are more common than edits to all the tables. I've noticed the list of AMD GPUs article also has all the tables in templates, but the List of Nvidia GPUs article doesn't, and someone actually pointed out that because of duplication of tables between the list article and the GPU generation / architecture articles, more often than not, one table can be more up to date than the other.
 * I'm going to guess the reason why there's separate i3, i5, i7 list articles rather than one "Core i-series" list article is because back when the Core i brand launched, the first CPUs that came out were only i7s, and it was probably not known at the time that i7 was going to be a sub-brand of a brand of processors, and a segmentation thing, rather than a completely different brand of CPU like with Core Duo vs. Core 2 Duo. That's the only way I can make sense of this really strange and rather stupid to me separate articles based on CPU segmentation. If anything, if an article becomes too big it should be split up based on generation / timeline, so for example article 1 covers 1st to 6th gen, article 2 covers 7th to 12th gen, etc. The List of Xeon article is sorted in a similar way, there are separate articles based on CPU architecture (Nehalem, Ivy Bridge, etc).
 * Regarding merged cells of same information: The tables on Intel CPU architecture articles, as well as AMD CPU & GPU, Nvidia GPU articles have had merged cells for many, many years now and I had never seen anyone complain about them on those articles at all. But your input is appreciated, I had wondered why anyone would prefer cells containing same info to not be merged. Anyways, my concern with this isn't solely on readability but also the amount of data / code that non-merged cells take up, so for example if I repeat "UHD Super Graphics 5000" seven times down a column, that takes up far more code than just writing down.
 * Regarding highest to lowest sorting: this is an inconsistency that I had seen on various AMD and Intel CPU articles for quite a while now, but it seemed to me that the general consensus from active editors on all those articles were in favour of highest-to-lowest-end sorting. Not only that, but also the CPUs are sorted by performance, features, etc instead of alphabetically. So for example, 10700KF would be placed before 10700K, whereas alphabetical sorting would put it after. Honestly I find it much easier to find a specific CPU in a table with the performance/features sorting rather than one with alphabetical sorting. I've seen someone actually try to change the sorting on an Intel article from high-to-low to alphabetically ascending before, only to be reverted numerous times by another editor: diff 1, diff 2. Then there's also this talk page comment. The general argument for fastest-to-slowest order is that the companies themselves list their products in that order. The Ryzen tables actually used to be slow-to-fast order, but I flipped them around in the redesign I did, in accordance with the talk comment and also the general consensus I've seen from editors on Intel articles. — AP 499D25  (talk)  13:08, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

David L. Morril

David Lawrence Morril (June 10, 1772 – January 28, 1849) was an American politician, attorney, physician and minister. He served as a U.S. Senator for New Hampshire from 1817 to 1823, and was the tenth governor of New Hampshire, serving from 1824 until 1827.

Early life
Morril was born to Samuel and Anna (Lawrence) Morril in Epping in the Province of New Hampshire on June 10, 1772. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and Dartmouth College, and later received his law degree from the University of Vermont.

He worked as a clergyman, called to the Congregational Presbyterian Church in 1802 in Goffstown, New Hampshire, where he served for years.

Political career
In 1808, Morril was elected as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives; he served until 1816. In his last term in 1816, he was elected by the House as Speaker.

The legislature elected him as the U.S. Senator from New Hampshire in 1817, and he served until 1823.

In 1824 Morril was elected as Governor of New Hampshire, serving from June 3, 1824, to June 7, 1827. In the 1824 election, Morril received the most votes; however, because he failed to win a majority of the votes cast, the election had to be decided by the legislature. Morril was elected by a vote of 163 to 43 during a joint meeting of the New Hampshire legislature. In the 1825 election, Morril ran unopposed; in the 1826 election, Morril defeated his opponent Benjamin Pierce by 5,392 votes. In the 1827 election, Morril was defeated by Pierce by an overwhelming margin: Benjamin Pierce won 21,166 votes out of 27,411 cast.

Personal life
Morril was married twice to Jane Wallace & Lydia Poore, whom he had four children with. He is buried in the Old North Cemetery, Concord, New Hampshire, near the grave of President Franklin Pierce.

Steve Fuller (American football)

Stephen Ray Fuller (born January 5, 1957) is an American former professional football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 10 seasons. He played college football for the Clemson Tigers, where he was twice named ACC Player of the Year, and was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft. Fuller played his first four seasons with the Chiefs and was a member of the Los Angeles Rams during his fifth season. He joined the Chicago Bears in 1984, where he spent four seasons as a backup and was a member of the team that won the franchise's first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XX. In his final season, Fuller was a member of the San Diego Chargers.

Early life
Fuller was born in Enid, Oklahoma and graduated from Spartanburg High School in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

College career
Fuller played college football at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina from 1975 to 1978. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, Fuller was a football and academic All-America at Clemson University.

In 1975, Fuller was 22-of-46 for 354 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. In addition, he had 47 carries for 148 yards as Clemson finished with a 2–9 record.

In 1976, Fuller was 58-of-116 for 835 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions. In addition, he had 157 carries for 503 yards with six touchdowns as Clemson finished with a 3–6–2 record.

In 1977, Fuller was 106-of-205 for 1,655 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. In addition, he had 178 carries for 437 yards with six touchdowns as Clemson finished with an 8–3–1 record.

In 1978, Fuller was 101-of-187 for 1,515 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions. In addition, he had 153 carries for 649 yards and ten touchdowns as Clemson finished with an 11–1 record.

Professional career
Fuller was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round with the 23rd overall pick in the 1979 NFL Draft. He played in the National Football League for seven years, most notably with the Chicago Bears as their backup quarterback from 1984–1986, including the Super Bowl XX championship season in 1985. Fuller was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the top fifteen backup quarterbacks of all-time, based on his 1985 season with the Chicago Bears.

After not throwing a single pass during the entire 1983 NFL season, Fuller came in for the Chicago Bears in Week 10 of the 1984 NFL season against the Los Angeles Raiders after an injury to starting quarterback Jim McMahon halfway through the game. McMahon missed the rest of the 1984 season and Fuller became the Bears starter, all the way to the 1984 NFC Championship game against the eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers.

Fuller was awarded a gold record and a platinum video award for the 1985 "Super Bowl Shuffle", for which he was the sixth of the ten solo singers. In 2010, during Super Bowl XLIV, Fuller joined other members of the 1985 Chicago Bears in recreating the Super Bowl Shuffle in a Boost Mobile commercial.

Personal life
Fuller and his wife, Anna, have two children. The couple live in South Carolina where Fuller was a high school football coach at Hilton Head Prep School. Fuller currently works as offensive coordinator for the Hilton Head Island High School football team.

Manti (food)

Manti is a type of dumpling mainly found in Turkish cuisine, Armenian cuisine and Central Asian cuisine but also in West Asia, South Caucasus, and the Balkans. Manti is also popular among Chinese Muslims, and it is consumed throughout post-Soviet countries, where the dish spread from the Central Asian republics. The dumplings typically consist of a spiced meat mixture, usually lamb or ground beef, wrapped in a thin dough sheet which is then boiled or steamed. The size and shape of manti vary significantly depending on geographic location.

Manti resemble the Chinese jiaozi and baozi, Korean mandu, Mongolian buuz and the Tibetan momo. The dish's name is cognate with Chinese mantou, Korean mandu, and Japanese manjū, though the modern Chinese and Japanese counterparts mostly refer to different dishes.

The name, depending on the language, can refer to a single dumpling or to more than one dumpling at a time; in English, it is often used as both a singular and plural form.

History
The Chinese word mantou has been suggested as the origin for the word manti, though the origin of the name manti is somewhat uncertain''.  The term mantou'' (饅頭) appears in early records of the Jin dynasty (266CE–420CE) and similar foods were produced and consumed in earlier periods. Different Chinese synonyms such as manshou (饅首)" and zhengbing (蒸餅) were also already in use, where both tou and shou mean head in Chinese. Originally, mantou was meat-filled. Mantou still retains its old meaning of stuffed bun in Wu Chinese as moedeu. But in Mandarin and many other varieties of Chinese, mantou refers to plain steamed buns, while baozi resemble the ancient mantou stuffed with meat.

Some of the earliest mentions of dishes resembling Turkic manti date to the Mongol Empire. One such mention of manta is found in the 1330 manuscript Yinshan Zhengyao by Hu Sihui, a Chinese court therapist in service of the Yuan Dynasty Emperor, Buyantu Khan. Some variations may be traced back to the Uyghur people of northwest China.

In general, there is agreement that the recipe was carried across Central Asia along the Silk Road to Anatolia by Turkic and Mongol peoples. According to Holly Chase, "Turkic and Mongol horsemen on the move are supposed to have carried frozen or dried manti, which could be quickly boiled over a camp-fire". Migrating Turkic-speaking peoples brought the dumpling with them to Anatolia, where it evolved into the Turkish mantı. Korean mandu is said to have arrived in Korea through the Mongols in the 14th century.

However, some researchers do not discount the possibility that manti may have originated in the Middle East and spread eastward to China and Korea through the Silk Road.

The earliest written Ottoman mantı recipe appears in a 15th-century cookbook written by Muhammed bin Mahmud Shirvani. The version in Shirvani's book is a steamed dumpling with a minced lamb and crushed chickpeas filling spiced with cinnamon and flavored with vinegar. The dish was garnished with sumac and like most contemporary mantı variations, it was served with a garlic-yoghurt sauce.

Many early Turkish cookbooks do not mention a dish called mantı. The first printed recipe book, Melceüt`t Tabâhhin, was published in 1844. It includes a recipe for a dish called Tatar böreği, which is similar to mantı but is not served with garlic yoghurt sauce. The first English-language Ottoman cookbook and a third cookbook printed in 1880 includes this same recipe. Another 1880 cookbook does have a recipe for mantı, but instead of a dumpling, it is a dish composed of layered dough served with mincemeat and garlic yogurt. This book also includes a recipe of piruhi, a cheese filled version of the Tatar böreği recipe.

In Central Asian cuisines
Manti in Central Asian cuisines are usually larger in size. They are steamed in a multi-level metal steamer called mantovarka, mantyshnitsa (Russian terms for manti cooker), manti-kazan or manti-kaskan (manti pot). It consists of layered pans with holes that are placed over a stockpot filled with water. Steaming is the main method of cooking manti; if boiled or fried, they are considered another type of dumpling, such as pelmeni.

In Kazakh cuisine and Kyrgyz cuisine, the manti filling is normally minced lamb (sometimes beef or horse meat), spiced with black pepper, sometimes with the addition of chopped pumpkin or squash. This is considered to be a traditional Uyghur recipe. Manti is served topped with butter, sour cream or an onion sauce or garlic sauce. When sold as street food in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, manti are typically presented sprinkled with hot red pepper powder.

In Uzbek and Tajik cuisines, manti are usually made of one (or a combination) of the following ingredients: lamb, beef, cabbage, potato or pumpkin, with fat often added to meat manti. Manti is usually topped with butter and maybe served with sour cream, different types of ketchup, or freshly sliced onions (sprinkled with vinegar and black pepper). A sauce made by mixing vinegar and chili powder is also common. Bukharian Jews also use cheese fillings, and such dumplings are usually served with yogurt. In Uzbekistan, manti are also called kaskoni.

The same style of cooking manti is traditional for Tatar, Bashkir and other cuisines of the Turkic peoples living in the vast area from Idel-Ural to the Far East. It is nowadays widespread throughout Russia and other post-Soviet countries.

In Afghan cuisine
In Afghan cuisine, the thinly rolled out dough of the mantu is filled with beef or lamb mixed with minced onions and spices, steamed and then topped with a yoghurt-based sauce. The sauce (seer mosst, lit. "garlic yoghurt") is made with chaka (thick, creamy, strained and salted yoghurt), lemon juice, dried and fresh mint, green and red chili powder and pressed garlic. The mantu can also be topped with a tomato-based sauce which can include split peas or red kidney beans and/or sautéed ground meat. This depends on the meat that was used for the filling of the mantu. The amount of yoghurt sauce is typically more than the tomato and ground meat sauce; the sauce is meant to be dotted on top so as to not cover the entire dish. However, separate dishes containing more of the ground meat, split peas, tomato sauce, and yoghurt sauce may also be kept at the table or dastarkhān. Some Afghans also like to serve mantu with a carrot qorma or stew, instead of a tomato-based sauce. Now it is also famous in some areas of Pakistan due to Afghan refugees. The authentic Afghan mantu dumplings are supposed to be small and bite-sized. The dough is supposed to be thinned out so that it is not chewy to bite on nor should one feel like they are eating more dough than filling. There is a specific pattern in which the dough of each dumpling is twisted and closed around the filling. There is a variation of this dish in Afghanistan known as aushak, in which the filling is different and it is made by boiling the dumplings instead of steaming them.

In Turkish and Armenian cuisine
In contrast to the Central Asian varieties, manti in Anatolia and Transcaucasia are usually boiled or baked rather than steamed and tend to be small in size. In modern Turkish cuisine, mantı are typically served topped with yoghurt and garlic and spiced with red pepper powder and melted butter and topped with ground sumac and/or dried mint by the consumer.

Similarly, the Armenian manti, also sometimes referred to as monta, are usually served with yoghurt (matzoon) or sour cream (ttvaser) and garlic, accompanied by clear soup (mantapour). Manti are more common among western Armenians, while among eastern Armenians and Georgians, similar dumplings called khinkali are more prevalent. Unlike all other regional varieties of manti, whether served with or without yogurt Armenian manti is always baked and crunchy, never just steamed or boiled.

A popular type of Turkish mantı is known as Kayseri mantısı, a cultural marker of the Central Anatolian city Kayseri. Kayseri mantısı is tiny and served with yoghurt, melted butter (typically flavored with spearmint or Aleppo pepper) and topped with dry mint and Aleppo pepper flakes. Manti may be made from shredded meat of quail, chicken or goose in some regions of Turkey, while boş mantı ("empty dumpling") lack filling entirely.

Turkish cuisine includes also other dumplings similar to manti, such as hingel and Tatar böreği. These are typically larger than Kayseri mantısı.

In Bosnian cuisine
In Bosnian cuisine, the name klepe or kulaci is used. These are made of minced meat with onions. It is served in a sauce consisting of yogurt and garlic. There is also a separate dish called mantije, which is made of the same ingredients, but the pastry balls are put together with no free space in between and baked. After the baking yogurt is poured on top. This second type is considered to be a pita or burek rather than manti and is primarily made in the region of Sandžak, as well as in Kosovo.

Terminology
The dish is known as manti in several languages (մանթի, mantı, мәнті/mänti/مأنتى, mantı, manti/monti). Other spelling varieties include manty (Kyrgyz, Tatar, манты), mantu (Pashto, Dari; манту) or manta (مانتا,, манта, монта), Mongolian- mantuu (мантуу).

Ambiguity
I don't profess to be a hip-hop expert, but what knowledge I have of current popular music is that the initials DTP are used in a number of current American hip-hop songs by members of the group to refer to that group. Seems to me if I hear something used in popular culture, and might need it explained, WP ought to be able to do that. Furthermore, DTP is an acronym used for more than just these two topics. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 21:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Saturday Supercade

Saturday Supercade is an American animated television series produced for Saturday mornings by Ruby-Spears Productions. It ran for two seasons on CBS.

Premise
Each episode is composed of several shorter segments featuring video game characters from the golden age of arcade video games.

The segments included:
 * Frogger (from the Frogger arcade game)
 * Donkey Kong with Mario and Pauline (from the Donkey Kong arcade game)
 * Donkey Kong Jr. (from the Donkey Kong Jr. arcade game)
 * Q*bert with Coily, Ugg, Wrongway, Slick and Sam (from the Q*bert arcade game)
 * Pitfall Harry with his pet mountain lion Quickclaw and his niece Rhonda (unlike the others which are arcade games, this segment is from the home console game Pitfall!). The cartoon was simply called "Pitfall!".

Pitfall! and Q*bert rotated weekly while the other three were weekly.

During the second season, Q*bert (now weekly) and Donkey Kong remained while the Frogger, Pitfall! and Donkey Kong Jr. segments were replaced by shorts featuring:
 * Kangaroo with friends and the "Monkey Business Gang" (from the Kangaroo arcade game).
 * Space Ace with Space Ace/Dexter (depending on his form), Kimberly, and Borf (from the Space Ace arcade game).

Frogger
Frogger (voiced by Bob Sarlatte) is an ace reporter of the swamp who works at The Swamp Gazette. He and his friends Shellshock "Shelly" Turtle (voiced by Marvin Kaplan) and Fanny Frog (voiced by B.J. Ward) go out in search of crazy stories (sometimes about human behavior) to publish in the newspaper. Frogger also has to deal with his gruff boss and editor-in-chief Tex Toadwalker (voiced by Ted Field Sr.). As in the game, he often has an encounter with an alligator or gets flattened by a passing car. Unlike the game, Shelly revives Frogger using an ordinary air pump.

Episodes

 * 1) "The Ms. Fortune Story" (September 17, 1983)
 * 2) "Spaced Out Frogs" (September 24, 1983)
 * 3) "The Who Took Toadwalker Story" (October 1, 1983)
 * 4) "Hydrofoil and Go Seek" (October 8, 1983)
 * 5) "The Great Scuba Scoop" (October 15, 1983)
 * 6) "The Headline Hunters" (October 22, 1983)

Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong (voiced by Soupy Sales) has escaped from the circus. He is on the loose and Mario (voiced by Peter Cullen) and Pauline (voiced by Judy Strangis) are chasing the ape. As with the original game, Donkey Kong will often grab Pauline and Mario has to save her. Plots typically centered on them encountering crime with the villains conning the slow-witted Donkey Kong into doing their work and Mario and Pauline exposing the truth. After Mario and Pauline reveal the truth to Donkey Kong, the three of them team up to stop the antagonists' plans followed by Donkey Kong evading Mario and Pauline again.

Pitfall!
Pitfall Harry (voiced by Robert Ridgely), his niece Rhonda (voiced by Noelle North), and their cowardly pet Quickclaw the Mountain Lion (voiced by Kenneth Mars) explore jungles for hidden treasures, having many different adventures along the way. Quickclaw and Rhonda later appeared in Pitfall II: Lost Caverns and Super Pitfall.

Q*bert
In a 1950s-inspired world set in the town of Q*Berg, a teenage fur-covered creature named Q*bert (voiced by Billy Bowles), his girlfriend Q*Tee (voiced by Robbie Lee), his brother Q*Bit (voiced by Dick Beals), and his friends Q*Ball (voiced by Frank Welker), Q*Val (voiced by Robbie Lee), and Q*Mongus (voiced by Frank Welker) must deal with the resident bullies Coily, Ugg and Wrongway (all three voiced by Frank Welker), and Coily's girlfriend Viper (voiced by Julie McWhirter). As with the video game, the segment features "block-hopping" scenes, "swearing" bubbles, and occasional flying discs from the original game. New to the cartoon was Q*bert's use of "slippy-doos", a black ball projectile which he loaded and fired through his nose, producing an oil slick wherever the balls splattered. Slick and Sam (both voiced by Frank Welker) are also featured.

He befriends a greaser nicknamed "Bones" (voiced by Bart Braverman) who has a motorcycle and offers to help Junior by finding his dad together. Donkey Kong Jr's catchphrase is "Monkey muscle!", which he tells to himself and Bones to inspire self-confidence. Bones often serves as the voice of reason when Donkey Kong Jr. bites off more than he can chew.

 * 13) "Double or Nothing" (December 10, 1983) -

Kangaroo
Joey Kangaroo (voiced by David Mendenhall), his mother "K.O." Katy Kangaroo (voiced by Mea Martineau), and Sidney Squirrel (voiced by Marvin Kaplan) must stop the Monkeybiz Gang members Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Fred (all four voiced by Pat Fraley and Frank Welker), four meddlesome monkeys who are known from making trouble at the local zoo run by the zookeeper Mr. Friendly (voiced by Arthur Burghardt). The Monkeybiz Gang would cause trouble by trying to escape from the zoo and Katy would have to help keep them in line.

Space Ace
Space Ace (voiced by Jim Piper) is the always smiling self-confident champion of the "Space Command", whereas when always "wimping out" to Dexter (voiced by Sparky Marcus) after being hit by the Infanto-Ray, he becomes clumsy and weak. With officer Kimberly (voiced by Nancy Cartwright), he works for Space Marshall Vaughn (voiced by Peter Renaday) to keep the peace in the universe. They fight the evil alien commander Borf (voiced by Arthur Burghardt) and keep him from invading Earth. Ace and Kim try to keep his 'wimping' situation secret and pretend that Dexter is Kim's little brother to Vaughn.

Again, as with Donkey Kong, Ruby-Spears took artistic license; in the video game, Dexter had certain chances to revert to Ace, his full-grown self, whereas in the cartoon the Ace/Dexter phases seemed to happen on their own and often at inconvenient times for the hero.

It was aired late night on Cartoon Network in the late 1990s, and segments have been shown between programs on Boomerang.

Episodes

Rebroadcast and home video
The Space Ace segments from the show occasionally appeared as filler in between shows on Boomerang and Toonami.

The series has become considered partially lost in recent years due to a lack of rereleases and rebroadcast. In 2010, Warner Archive announced via their Facebook page that Saturday Supercade would be released through their made-on-demand DVD program, but some segments may be cut due to rights issues. As of 2024, no further information has been released.

In November 2015, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released The Best of Q*Bert on DVD in Region 1. The two-disc collection features 17 of the 19 episodes of the series. This is a Manufacture-on-Demand (MOD) release, available exclusively in the US via Amazon.com and their CreateSpace MOD program.
