In the Shadow of Kinzua

Kinzua Dam has cast a long shadow on Seneca life since World War II. The project flooded approximately 10,000 acres of Seneca lands in New York and Pennsylvania, and forced the relocation of hundreds of tribal members. Hauptman presents both a policy study - how and why Washington, Harrisburg, and Albany came up with the idea - as well as a community study of the Seneca Nation in the postwar era.
