'''Seneca University''' ('''SU''') is a private research university in Rochester (Wahsödi:yo:h), New York. Found in 1819 as the '''Seneca School''', by United States Army officer [[Alexander Dickson]] after his return from Newfoundland. After it's rebrand in 1859 to the '''Seneca Polytechnic and Iroquois Confederacy University''', it became a well known and prestigious institution of learning, especially for still segregated Canadian First Nations and Confederate Indians. In 1872, the university became a private institution after the United States government tried to force westernization on it, despite the fact the university already balanced traditional beliefs with western ideals.
