it’s stooopid...
the local sports teams were always The Senecas
now the “Lake Hawks”
BUT
it’s STILL called Seneca Lake...
make it make sense
Their village was called “sinnekens.” The Dutch and English called them the name “Seneca” from the Roman Philosopher of the same name. Blame the Romans, Dutch and English. It ain’t even what they called themselves. This is all Pure BS.
