Seneca Nation requests reversal on 'Lake America' executive order

The Seneca Nation, led by President J. Conrad Seneca, has requested that President Donald Trump reverse an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as 'Lake America.' Seneca argues that this name change violates a 225-year-old treaty between Native American tribes and the U.S. government. The request comes after Trump issued the executive order on Thursday, which aimed to rename the lake in honor of the United States. The Seneca Nation emphasizes historical agreements and sovereignty issues, suggesting the renaming disregards indigenous rights and territorial claims.
