Welcome to the Seneca Nation
We Have a Proud & Rich History
The Seneca was the largest of six Native American nations, which comprised the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations, a democratic government that pre-dates the U.S. Constitution. The historical Seneca occupied territory throughout the Finger Lakes area in Central New York, and in the Genesee Valley in Western New York, living in longhouses on the riversides. Today, the Seneca Nation has a total enrolled population of over 8,000 members. The Seneca Nation supports its own people and benefits surrounding communities with a variety of cultural, educational, and economic efforts.
