Building a Better Community for all New Yorkers

Mission

“Stand With Seneca” is a public awareness campaign designed to educate, inform and advocate to the region on the significance of the Seneca Nation’s presence. By sharing both the positive economic impacts and the proud cultural heritage of the Seneca people, we aim to gain the public’s fact-based understanding of the relationship between the Nation & the Western New York community. The region is the Nation’s homeland since time immemorial, and the Nation’s commitment to the area is permanent. As a result of this campaign, we call you to Stand With Seneca.

Initiatives

01.

Healthcare

Access to quality healthcare services is a basic human need. It is also a pronounced challenge in Nativecommunities. The Seneca Nation is committed to serving the health needs of its people, providing comprehensive services to all, from Elders to the youngest children, incorporating the traditional belief that physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being are all one.

02.

Education

The path to growth and success is paved by education. Yet, nationwide, Native students have some of the lowest high school graduation rates. The Seneca Nation is committed to helping all generations of Senecas follow an educational path that leads to success in the classroom, helps them achieve their life and career goals, and prepares them for leadership and success within their chosen career, their community and their Nation.

03.

Cultural Preservation

Seneca culture and heritage – like the Seneca people – have faced seemingly relentless attacks throughout history. If not for the strength and perseverance of the Seneca people, the Seneca culture, including their traditional language, could have been lost to time and erased forever. Instead, these important foundations of Seneca identity are once again beginning to thrive.

04.

Economic Development

The Seneca Nation has led a major economic transformation over the last 20 years. The Nation’s investments, including nearly $2 Billion to develop three world-class casinos and historic investments in facilities and services on its territories, have created a sustained energy and economic development wave whose benefits are felt by thousands of individuals, families and businesses across New York every day.

“I am thankful you are well.”
