I am thankful you are well.This exhibit references and discusses the Kinzua Dam, the forced relocation of our Seneca people from communities on our Allegany Territory. This material is being presented so that you can gain a contextual understanding of the ecological effects and impacts of the dam. In addition, it is our intention to educate users on the historical and cultural importance that Ohi:yo' has to our Seneca people. Please keep your mental safety in mind and utilize the navigation tools to the top left of the screen to choose which pages to view.
This selection of archival and historic photographs, maps, newspaper articles, and information has been arranged to present the history and ecological impacts of the Kinzua Dam on our Seneca Nation (Nation). In order to provide a deeper understanding of the ecological and cultural impacts Kinzua has had on our people, we have pulled materials from a wide variety of sources.
Much of this exhibit was curated with materials housed within the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum and Seneca Nation Archives Department, however, additional sources of information have been pulled from newspapers, such as The New York Times, and other Nation departments, such as Fish and Wildlife. More information about this exhibit can be found on the About this Exhibit page.
