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. Directed, edited & produced by Seneca filmmaker, Caleb G. Abrams, 2010.
