Tonawanda Band of Seneca

Hello.

I am looking to maybe talk to anyone who may be from this specific band or guide me on how to connect with - I am not at all near new york so i cannot go to any events. On my dad side my great grandfather and before were all from Tonawanda Seneca Reservation.

I haven’t had luck finding anything online on how to connect with Tonawanda specifically.

I want to learn traditions and teachings and be educated on my culture. And Would love even just someone to talk to if anyone else is from this band.

Thank you in advance for any help!

my mom triggers my contamnination ocd so much- She made contact with a hill that has animals like deer mice bird squirrels touched the dirt and didn’t wash her hands coming back inside

i’m just grossed out some of my biggest fears are like diseases or bird flu or disease from rats or deers. And it just stressed me out because she came back inside and didn’t wash her hands- went to her phone and probably won’t wash her hands . And i just get stressed because i think of everything she touching in the house and it’s so stressful for me

If i asked her to wash her hands or anything she would get mad at me so im just suffering

Hard when you’re worried about something and your therapist says it’s great exposure therapy 😭

Basically I’ve been really scared about bird flu since I learned about it accidentally. And over time it’s been getting worse moving back from city to woodland critter filled neighborhood. My mom recently put like a hanging bird seed feeder near the railing on the stairs we gotta walk by everyday. My mind goes “bird seed bird poop a bunch of birds in the area we gonna step on stuff and track stuff into the house and get bird flu”

But therapist said she thinks this will be good for me…. That was kinda rough just because i felt frustrated of like “how long of it being there and me getting increasingly more worried because overtime more birds will be there i don’t have hope I would eventually not care about it”

BuBUT until i learned about bird flu and diseases i loved animals and even fed crows peanuts on balcony.
