When you reach the posted coordinates you will see a circular display of animal statues. These animals represent the different clans that exist within the Seneca Nation of Indians. This tribe makes up the indigenous people that inhabit Western New York. The Seneca Nation is part of the Iroquoit Confederation, which consists of the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Tuscarora tribes. The Senecas were designated as Keeper of the Western Door because they were the western-most tribe in the confederation.The tall structure that stands on this property is owned by the Senaca Nation of Indians. Parking is FREE unless otherwise specified.
