Greetings, As anticipated, the Seneca Nation 2022-2023 Budget was approved by Council at a brief Special Council session held on Tuesday, September 20th, 2022.

Greetings, By now, all of our students should have returned to their 2022-2023 school year and are learning new things. When I was growing up, this was the time of year I could count on getting a new pair of shoes and some new duds. It also meant hunting season was right around the corner. […]

Being a father, a grandfather and a great-grandfather has been one of the most rewarding privileges I’ve had.

Greetings, We’ve had a little rain and we’ve had some sunshine. This is the time of year I like to be outside as much as I can – whether I’m fixing something, doing yard work or watching a lacrosse game. This is also the time of year for graduation celebrations for our area high schools […]
