The Seneca Iroquois in Lima

The Seneca Iroquois in Lima
by Martha Sempowski Ph.D.

Tuesday, September 15th, 7pm
Lima Court House
7321 East Main Street, Lima

This slide-illustrated presentation will focus on our current
archaeological understanding of the life and culture of the
Seneca Iroquois who lived here in Lima during the early to
mid-1600’s. What was life like for those who walked here
before us some 400 years ago and how was traditional
native life changing at that time?

The presentation is free and open to the public.
