The name was said to be indian but can not find it.

Answer 1

"Seneca" is the name of an Iroquian Indian nation. They are part of the Algonquin language group, and the name itself is a corruption of a term at once time applied to the Oneida nation. They called themselves Djionoñdowaneñronoñ, "People of the Great Mountain."

There is a good history of the Seneca here:



And this is the Senecas' home page:



Welcome to the home page of The Seneca Nation Of Indians.

The Seneca Nation of Indians (SNI) is one of the six tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy who occupy aboriginal lands in New York State set aside by the Treaty of Canandaigua of 1794. The Seneca Nation of Indians has a total population of over 7200 enrolled members and holds title to three territories in New York, one of which includes the City of Salamanca.

Answer 2

Seneca was a Roman philospher. I think one of the Iroquois chiefs was also called Seneca.

Oops. Looks like the Seneca were one of the tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy

Answer 3

I just did a search on it and can't find a thing! I guess you have to find a real american Indian to anser this one. Good Luck
