October and already the leaves are fading away in the Adirondacks. 🍂 Most shocking to me is that we are less then a month away from November, which in many ways should be a sigh of relief with the craziness of work and with the deep blue skies and crisp days of that month.

Remembering the Removal [Kinzua Dam & Forced Seneca Relocation]

|

Completed in 1965, along the Allegheny River near Warren, Pennsylvania, the Kinzua Dam created a reservoir that inundated vast tracts of treaty-protected Seneca territory - forcing hundreds of Senecas to relocate in its wake. Remembering the Removal explores the relocation and its legacy through a series of interviews and features powerful archival footage from Allan Forbes’ 1994 film, Lands of Our Ancestors.
