	Facts for Kids: Seneca Indians (Senecas)
		Yes, the Seneca nation was one of the original members of the Iroquois League, or Kanonsionni in their own language ("league of clans.") The other member nations were the Mohawk, the Oneida, the Cayuga, and the Onondaga.
		In times of war, Seneca men often shaved their heads except for a scalplock or a crest down the center of their head--the style known as a roach, or a "Mohawk." Sometimes they would augment this hairstyle with splayed feathers or artificial roaches made of brightly dyed porcupine and deer hair.
		The Seneca Indians were known for their false face masks, which are considered such a sacred art form that outsiders are still not permitted to view many of these masks.

	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.
		Previous to the defeat and despoliation of the Neuters in 1651 and the Erie in 1656, the Seneca occupied the territory drained by Genesee river, eastward to the lands of the Cayuga along the line of the watershed between Seneca and Cayuga lakes.
		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.

		The Apache Indians were known to be quick to defend their homeland and seemed to always be at odds with the white man. However, in the early 1800s, the Apache tribes were at war with the Mexicans.
