About Seneca Nation of Indians
The Seneca Nation of Indians is a federally recognized tribe based in western New York. Its government is organized under a constitution established in 1848, with elected executive and legislative branches and a judicial branch made up of Peacemaker, Appellate and Surrogate courts. The Nation's Peacemaker's Court serves as its trial court and hears civil matters such as domestic relations, child welfare and land disputes, while its Surrogate's Court handles probate of wills and estates for members.
The Nation runs community services and public functions including public safety, health services, education, housing, environmental protection and conservation. Its enterprises include gaming, hospitality and entertainment, along with a convenience store chain and other business holdings. In New York State, the Nation's administration is based in Irving, in Cattaraugus Territory, and in Salamanca, in Allegany Territory.
