Poor typing and no spell check on the boards. I also admit I have never seen the word aboriginal in conjunction with the Senedos but many sources say they are an ancient tribe. One specifically states the Senedo were in the Shenendoah valley for at least 1000 years. The word aboriginal usually means an ancient group of people who are native to an area and the Senedo do qualify as that. They may not be as old a people as the Aboriginees of Australia but they meet the criteria. Here is a site worth looking at in reference to the Senedo which may also be refferred to as the Shendo, Senendo and even Genundo, http://www.basyevortex.com/ This site is about an actual energy phenomenon that exists in the Shenendoah Valley and that has been related to the Senedo.
