The University of the Haudenosaunee — Deo-Wain-Sta (UH Deo) is a public reserach university and the flagship institution for the University of the Haudenosaunee system.
Founded in 1828 as the University of the Iroquois Confederacy by an act of congress. It was jointly funded by the United States government and the Iroquois Confederacy. In 1859, when what is now Seneca University joined the university system, it was renamed to University of the Iroquois Confederacy, Rome.
History
In March 1826, the Haundenosaunee Grand Council petitioned the United States government to assist in the creation of a university to benefit the Haudenosaunee people and other native groups in the New England region. In July 1828, the liberal congress passed the Iroquois University Act and gave land outside of Rome, New York to build a university.
