NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK: (November 4, 2026) – At the start of Native American Heritage Month, a Seneca Resorts & Casinos executive is being honored by two organizations for his military service.
Peter Maybee, the company’s Vice President of Corporate Security, was honored by the Buffalo Bills as the “Veteran of the Game” during the team’s game against the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium on Sunday. On Friday, he will accept the “Veteran of the Year” honor from WNY Heroes, a Veterans’ assistance organization, at its annual Red, White and Blue Charity Gala.
A member of the Seneca Nation, Maybee grew up on the Nation’s Cattaraugus Territory and served in the United States Air Force from 1975-1979. He was stationed throughout the Asian Pacific and the European Theater. As a Military Police Specialist, Maybee helped guard our country’s military bases and their assets abroad.
“Military service gives you a sense of duty – not to yourself but to the country that has given us the freedoms we have,” Maybee said. “I am very proud to have continued my family’s long tradition of military service and to have served alongside many brave warriors. I am accepting these honors on behalf of every Veteran who has answered the call to serve.”
Following his four years of service in the Air Force, Maybee led a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, including 20 years with the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, where he led law enforcement, criminal justice and homeland security operations for Native Nations and territories across the country. On 9/11, he was stationed in Washington, D.C. and helped lead the instantaneous response and crisis management activities at the Pentagon and other Federal locations.
Maybee joined Seneca Resorts & Casinos in 2013 and oversees security operations at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino.
“This recognition for Peter is well-deserved,” said Seneca Resorts & Casinos President & CEO Kevin Nephew. “Peter embodies the warrior spirit and tradition that runs deep in our culture. We are grateful to Peter and to all of our Veterans for their brave and selfless service in the defense of freedom.”
Native American Heritage Month is observed every November to honor the history, culture, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous people in the United States. It was officially established by a joint Congressional resolution, signed by United States President George H.W. Bush, in 1990.
