Proceedings of Remember the Removal: September 28, 2019 Allegany Territory Seneca Nation - Paperback

by Randy a. John (Author)

In the 1960s, the Seneca Nation lost control of 10,000 acres of treaty protected land. The 1794 Pickering Treaty protects Iroquois land, yet, the United States allowed the violation of this treaty for flood control. At the time hydro energy was never mentioned but became a multimillion profitable enterprise for federal contractors, without profit sharing with the land owners, the Senecas. Since the 1980s, the Seneca people and friends have commemorated this sovereign infringement. This book provided historical newspaper articles and a large collection of pictures of the 2019 "Remember The Removal." It also provides speeches and comments about the travesty the Kinzua Dam caused for Indian and Pennsylvania non-Indians after their homelands were flooded permanently.
