Summary
Completed in 1965, the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania was originally proposed to help mitigate flooding in Pittsburgh{u2014}200 miles downriver, but the 27-mile reservoir that formed behind it inundated vast tracts of the Seneca Indians{u2019} ancestral lands, forcing their removal in breach of the United States{u2019} oldest treaty then in effect. LAKE OF BETRAYAL looks at the Seneca Nation{u2019}s fight to protect its sovereignty against the U.S. government{u2019}s Indian termination policy and overwhelming political and economic forces driving the post-WWII boom.
