The Name Game
The tribe this steed is based on are located in New York state. They are the Westernmost tribe in the Iroquoian Confederacy.

The Seneca raised corn, beans and squash, which were the staples of their diet. They established villages with permanent dwellings. These villages were moved every generation or so, when food became scarce or the land depleted. In addition to farming, the Seneca went on protracted hunting and fishing expeditions. Women were in control of the household and all matters relating to it, because these hunting expeditions might extend for months at a time. However, their society was not strictly a matriarchy, as matters of tribal policy were still left to the men. Today the Seneca have tribal lands in New York near Buffalo, in Oklahoma, and Ontario.
