Oneida Ambulance

About Oneida Ambulance

Oneida Paramedic Services is a specialized emergency medical division of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, located on the eastern shore of the Thames River, approximately 30 kilometers south of London. The organization serves the Oneida community, which includes over 2,000 residents and a total membership of more than 6,000 people across Canada and the United States. The paramedic services are part of a broader emergency response team that includes the Oneida Fire Department and Oneida Police Services. These dedicated professionals provide emergency medical services, fire services, and public safety protections. They are described as applying specialized training, skills, and experience to protect life, property, and the environment regardless of weather conditions or danger. The nation’s service model is rooted in a deeply connected connection to the land and Haudenosaunee culture. The community is governed by both an elected Chief and Council and a Hereditary Chief’s Council, which consists of three Chiefs from the Wolf, Bear, and Turtle clans. The nation identifies as the Oneida Nation of the Thames Settlement, noting that their lands were purchased with their own funds rather than being granted by the government.
