Demography and population
The reservation comprises portions of eastern Outagamie County and western Brown County. The shape of the reservation is an angled rectangle directed to the northeast, due to the area's layout along the Fox River, which runs in the same direction. The reservation has a land area of 265.168 km² (102.382 sq mi) and a 2000 census population of 21,321 persons, over half of whom live on reservation land that is also part of the city of Green Bay. The only community entirely on the reservation is Oneida.
Gambling
In addition to the Ashwaubenon casino, the local Oneida tribe also runs a lottery, the Big Green numbers game. It pre-dates the launch of the statewide Wisconsin Lottery.
