Seneca Nation President J. Conrad "JC" Seneca welcomes New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) to tribal territory on May 20, 2025.

Hochul's appearance on the Cattaraugus Reservation marks the first time a sitting governor has visited the Seneca Nation. 

During her visit, Hochul met with tribal leaders and survivors of the Thomas Indian School. The school was operated by the state on Cattaraugus Reservation from 1875 to 1957. 

Hochul offered an apology on behalf of the state for the operation of the school.

SENECA: 1 serata presentazione gratuita 15.09.2025

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 3

It focuses specifically on Seneca discussing a paradox of calling someone a friend but not trusting them with information.  This leads Seneca to say that his correspondent, Lucilius doesn't seem to know what genuine friendship really is or involves, and to make a distinction between the common but mistaken use of the term "friend" and the proper sense of the term. He also suggests that many make mistakes by first loving someone and trusting them as a friend and only later on forming a correct judgement of them as a person, when the order of this ought to be reversed.

Seneca, Letter 3 - True and False Friendship - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 6

It focuses specifically on  how we make moral progress, and that we ought to want to share that progress with our friends. He also clarifies that when we learn something we ought to want to share that as well with our friends. A better way to do this than simply learning precepts is to spend time with those who we think have made progress and developed understanding, so we can see how they actually live their lives

Seneca, Letter 6 - Friendship, Progress, and Sharing Knowledge - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 99

In this letter, after a brief introductory paragraph, Seneca reproduces a letter sent to a different correspondent Marullus when he had lost a young child. Although Seneca says that his goal is not to console but rather to offer criticism, he in effect does both of these, offering a number of considerations that can prove helpful to a person who is grieving the loss of a loved one.

Seneca, Letter 99 - Consolation For Loss Of A Child - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 109

It focuses specifically on whether or not a wise person, according to the Stoics, would want or need to be involved with other people, particularly other wise people, to which his answer (perhaps surprisingly to some) is yes. He provides some reasonings for the position he articulates on this, including how the wise person, despite in a strict sense not needing anything or anyone else, will nevertheless desire to share their life with others, and will also benefit from the advice and fellowship of other wise people.
