You won't find many cities with neighborhoods that are strictly Native American because it isn't government land. Most Native Americans in NY, NC, and OK are located on specific land in order to obtain benefits based on their tribe. Example: Services
It was honestly a little depressing to see Salamanca which is riddled by poverty compared to neighboring Ellicottville and Olean which are stellar small towns. The land around Salamanca is gorgeous but it's a dying town with a casino. Whatever the Senecas are doing with their money, they aren't putting it into their town.
On the other hand, the Oneidas have done pretty well with their enterprises near Oneida and Verona. They even have their own housing on Oneida land within the city of Oneida limits. Housing – Oneida Indian Nation
They also have their own gas station chain: SavOn - Home
No prob, stands out to me cuz I live nearby. Online ref indicates Senecas make up only 17% of the population, but I'd have guessed ~50%. Probably a lot of mix though and in that case your mother must be Seneca in order to be considered Seneca.
North of the border, Winnipeg has 70,000 First Nations and Metis people, out of a population of 650,000. It is probably the largest population of any North American city.
(Though it's hard to directly compare population figures in the US and Canada given rather different means of counting).

There are smaller cities in the US with similar percentages, but in terms of a mid sized/major city and maybe outside of Mexico and Central American counties in the North American continent, Winnipeg likely has the highest percentage.
I'm Native American and I live in Sacramento, and know a lot of urban Indians here. When I want to be closer to my culture or get good frybread, I visit family in Arizona and New Mexico.
Native American land ownership in the Palm Springs CA area amounts to about 50%, in a checkerboard pattern, so the reservation land is indistinguishable;e from privately owned land. Plus they own a big casino. One of the wealthiest tribes in the US.
Albuquerque has a 4.6% Native American population within the city limits and is bordered by reservations on three sides (Sandia, Isleta, and Laguna Pueblo reservations).
