	Seneca Indian Tribe History
		In the third quarter of the 16th century the Seneca was the last but one of the Iroquois tribes to give its suffrage in favor of the abolition of murder and war, the suppression of cannibalism, and the establishment of the principles upon which the League of the Iroquois was founded.
		The political history of the Seneca is largely that of the League of the Iroquois, although owing to petty jealousies among the various tribes the Seneca, like the others, sometimes acted independently in their dealings with aliens.
		In 1657 the Seneca, in carrying out the policy of the League to adopt conquered tribes upon submission and the expression of a desire to live under the form of government established by the League, had thus incorporated eleven different tribes into their body politic.

		The Mattaponi River in eastern Virginia, named for the tribe of Native Americans who still live along its banks, is one of the state's most pristine waterways.

		It would be the single largest permitted destruction of wetlands in Virginia in more than 30 years, and it would violate a treaty between the tribe and the state.
