President Armstrong speaks on potential COVID-19 exposures at a private Halloween party on the Cattaraugus Territory and advises people possibly affected to get tested. He encourages everyone to remain vigilant and protected against the growing spread of the coronavirus.
Please be advised that a young community member, who was asymptomatic but positive for COVID-19, apparently attended a large gathering on Brant Reservation Road this past Halloween weekend. If you or a family member may have been exposed, please call the clinic to arrange for testing. Affected individuals should self-quarantine, contact their doctor, and follow all medical directives. The Seneca Nation is working on obtaining additional testing opportunities as quickly as possible. Details will be announced as soon as they are available.
President Armstrong offers condolences and words of support for the recent passing of three community members.
President Armstrong outlines the Seneca Nation’s response to the ongoing drug crisis.
President Armstrong speaks on the health and stability of the Minors Trust Fund, the temporary closure of the Cattaraugus ECLC for deep cleaning, remaining vigilant about COVID-19, and the recent appointment of the first Seneca as CEO of the Seneca Gaming Corporation. He also offers reflections on the past two years of his administration including economic development and diversification, resolution of the Thruway repairs, and the Seneca Nation’s efforts to navigate the challenges of the pandemic.
President Armstrong provides an update on confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in the community and the cleaning and medical clearance protocols enacted to ensure public and workplace safety. Additionally, he announces the formation of a drug task force comprised of members from Seneca Mothers Against Drugs (SMAD) and the Nation Council, as well as a one-time Health Incentive Benefit for Seneca members to be paid from the Incentive Surplus Fund.
