Namesake
Seneca Hall was named in honor of the Seneca Nation, the westernmost of the five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. In their native language, the Seneca refer to themselves a O-non-dowa-gah (Oh-n'own-dough-wahgah), which translates to "Great Hill People." The Seneca are the largest nation in the Iroquois Confederacy, with more than 8,000 people identifying as members of the Seneca Nation.
