A documentary called Lake of Betrayal tells the story of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania, and how its construction forced the Seneca Indian people from their ancestral land. It’s a story of politics, commercialization, broken treaties, and the Seneca Nation’s fight to protect its sovereignty and culture. The film will be shown at Ganondagan this weekend, and we’ll get a preview with the filmmaker. Our guests: Scott Sackett, writer and producer of Lake of Betrayal Peter Jemison, historic site manager for Ganondagan Michael Leroy Oberg, distinguished professor of history at SUNY Geneseo, and author of Native America: A History
