<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17744/20110608/senecas-fight-for-kinzua-dam</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 8, 2011) In southwestern New York, a battle is shaping up for one of the Northeast’s great hydropower complexes.  The Kinzua dam was built 45 years ago by the federal government.  In the process, dozens of homes and sacred sites belonging to the Seneca Indian Nation were flooded.Today, the Seneca Nation is making a bid to take ownership of the dam.  It’s created an energy company from scratch.  And it’s investing heavily in its bet to beat out the company that currently runs the dam in the federal dam relicensing process.  As the Innovation Trail’s Daniel Robison reports, tens of millions of dollars are at stake.
