Description
Summary:
Completed in 1965, the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania was originally proposed to help mitigate flooding in Pittsburgh, 200 miles downriver, but the 27-mile reservoir that formed behind it inundated vast tracts of the Seneca Indians' ancestral lands, forcing their removal in breach of the United States' oldest treaty then in effect. LAKE OF BETRAYAL looks at the Seneca Nation's fight to protect its sovereignty against the U.S. government's Indian termination policy and overwhelming political and economic forces driving the post-WWII boom.
