How many acres is the place where The Seneca White Deer live?
Seneca white deer The Seneca White Deer are a rare herd of deer living within the confines of the former Seneca Army Depot in Seneca County, New York. When the 10600 acre depot was created in 1941, a 24 mi fence was erected around its perimeter, isolating a small herd of White-tailed deer, some of whom had white coats. These deer are not albino, but instead carry a set of recessive genes for all-white coats. Isolation of the herd causes high levels of inbreeding.
Onondaga people The Onondaga ("Onöñda’gega’ "or "Hill Place") people are one of the original five constituent nations of the Iroquois ("Haudenosaunee") Confederacy in northeast North America. Their traditional homeland is in and around present-day Onondaga County, New York, south of Lake Ontario. They are known as "Gana’dagwëni:io’geh" to the other Iroquois tribes. Being centrally located, they are considered the "Keepers of the Fire" ("Kayečisnakwe’nì·yu’" in Tuscarora) in the figurative longhouse that shelters the Five Nations. The Cayuga and Seneca have territory to their west and the Oneida and Mohawk to their east. For this reason, the League of the Iroquois historically met at the Iroquois government's capital at Onondaga, as the traditional chiefs do today.
