ONEIDA, Wis. (NBC 26) -- Nearly 200 members of the Northeast Wisconsin community gathered at the Oneida Pow Wow grounds one week after a shooting left two men dead at a casino complex in Ashwaubenon.

Saturday morning's event aimed to cleanse and heal spirits in an effort to move forward following a tragic incident at the Duck Creek restaurant within the Oneida Casino Complex. A gunman shot three employees of the eatery. One man is currently in the recovery process.
Local politicians, Green Bay officials and other city leaders attended the gathering that included a near 30-minute tobacco-burning ceremony in the Native Oneida language. Before community members departed, tribal leaders walked towards each person and waved smoke in their direction in a 'smudging' process meant to cleanse all negativity.
The Oneida Casino reopened Thursday. Investigators are still looking into the shooting.
Oneida officials say they are experimenting with the idea of additional security on casino premises.
