68 Dam Nation

In the 1960s over 10,000 acres of the Seneca Nation's land was to be forcibly acquired by the US government to make way for a dam to protect Pittsburgh from flooding. To the Seneca who lived in the area however they would not take this treaty violation lying down. They would do everything in their power to find a way to save their ancestral lands and their family's homes. Sources Remembering the Removal [Kinzua Dam & Forced Seneca Relocation] Caleb G.
