Both the Cornplanter Tract and the western portion of the Allegany Reservation were flooded and mostly made uninhabitable as a result of the construction of the Kinzua Dam; the Senecas were compensated mainly through the construction of Jimerson Town and a handful of other resettlement areas.
Until the Senecas repurchased the land for the casino, it was owned by Carl Paladino, who continues to own much of the surrounding land.
Captain François-Marie Renaud d'Avène des Méloizes (1655– April 22, 1699) was a French Cavalry officer who came to New France in 1685 in command of the Troupes de Marine and led the successful expedition against the Senecas.
In 1964, the American country singer Johnny Cash recorded the song "As Long as the Grass Shall Grow" (composed by the Native American folk singer Peter La Farge) about the Senecas' plight; the Seneca nation's owned-and-operated radio station, WGWE, plays the song at least once a week in remembrance, as does WPIG, the local country music station.
