Ohi:yo', our Beautiful River, has always been our home and source of nourishment.

For millennia, Ohi:yo' flowed freely, providing life to a thriving ecosystem and to our Seneca people.The Seneca people have had a long relationship with Ohi:yo'. In our language, Ohi:yo' means "Beautiful River" or "Good River".
The river was an ideal habitat for a variety of marine life that we consider culturally important. Plants we know are good for medicine grew along its borders. We built our communities and way of life around Ohi:yo'.
Today our Seneca people still live and have a relationship with Ohi:yo'. Ohi:yo' is at the heart of our Allegany Territory.
