In anticipation of entering into negotiations over a new gaming compact with the state of New York, the Seneca Nation of Indians has launched a campaign aimed at spreading awareness about Seneca history and the nation’s contributions to the local economy.

During a press conference on Friday outside Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo, Seneca Nation leaders, employees and supporters gathered to discuss the campaign, which is themed “#StandWithSeneca.”

“Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino is one example of how the Seneca Nation has helped to reshape and restore the economic landscape in Western New York,” said Seneca Nation President Matthew Pagels.
