SENECA

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 638 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SENECA , a tribe of North American Indians of Iroquoian stock. They
call
  themselves Tshoti-nondawaga, " people of the
mountain
 ." The French called them Tsonnontouan. Their former range was in western New
York
  state between Seneca lake and the Genesee river. They were one of the Six Nations League of the Iroquois, and eventually became the most important tribe of the league. They were foremost in all the Iroquoian wars, and were the official guardians of the western frontier of the league. On the defeat of the Erie and Neuter tribes they occupied the county west of Lake Erie and
south
  along the Alleghany to
Pennsylvania
 . They fought on the English side in the War of Independence. About 2700 are now on reservations in New
York
  State, while a few are in Oklahoma and on Grand River reservation, Ontario.
For Seneca Cosmology see 21st Ann. Report Bureau Amer. Ethnol. (1899-1900).
