Biography/History

Walter Taylor, social worker and community consultant, was born in Colorado in 1918. He grew up in Massachusetts and received a bachelor's degree in physics from Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, and a master's degree in Human Development from the University of Chicago.

Taylor began his professional career in social service by working for the State of Minnesota as a consultant in child welfare helping emotionally disturbed and blind children; he eventually became the Assistant Director of Services for the Blind. In 1958 after ten years in Minnesota, Taylor joined the staff of Wisconsin's Public Welfare Department, Division of Children and Youth. For a 16-county area that included two Indian reservations, he served as a community consultant helping communities recognize and solve their local problems.

In 1960 Taylor began working for the Quakers and became more involved with Indian groups. As a national representative for the American Indian Program of the American Friends Service Committee, he traveled throughout the country and consulted with project staff and committees on their efforts to assist various American Indian communities. During this time he also worked part-time for the Indian Committee of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends assisting the Seneca Nation of Indians to formulate policy, plans, and proposals in response to the construction of the Kinzua Dam in Pennsylvania. (Additional information on the dam follows this biographical sketch.) On September 1, 1962 he began work as a full-time representative of the Indian Committee, and served in this position until 1965. He continued in an advisory capacity until 1966.

Taylor then returned to Wisconsin where he became the Director of a VISTA training program at the University of Wisconsin-Extension preparing volunteers for service on Indian reservations. In 1968 he left for Canada where Taylor at this writing (1976) is currently employed by the Children's Aid Society of Vancouver, British Columbia.

History of the Kinzua Dam

The construction of the Kinzua Dam, its effect on the Seneca Indians, and Taylor's active involvement comprises a major portion of this collection. A brief history follows in order to aid the researcher.

Authorized in 1938, the Kinzua Dam was a federal project designed to provide a comprehensive flood control and low water regulation system for the Allegheny Valley. Built on the Allegheny River just above Warren, Pennsylvania, its construction created a 27-mile-long lake reservoir that flooded 10,000 acres or 1/3 of the Allegheny Indian Reservation in New York State, home of the Seneca Indians. Many people denounced its construction as a violation of the 1794 Treaty of Canadaigua (Pickering Treaty), in which the United States government had originally ceded this land to the Senecas. In addition it flooded 3/4 of a 908-acre land grant given to the Cornplanter Indians, descendants of Chief Cornplanter, an independent Seneca, by the Pennsylvania state legislature in 1791. Legal efforts to stop construction ended in June 1959 when the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a 1958 U.S. Court of Appeals' decision to stand; the lower court had ruled that Congress did have the right to authorize the construction of the dam.

In 1960 ground was broken. Senecas and other interested parties opposed to the dam still tried to halt further construction. Particularly active were the Quakers who assisted the Senecas and Cornplanters with planning, dealing with government agencies, obtaining technical and legal information, and distributing information to the general public.

Those opposed to the dam organized a national campaign to exert pressure on the President and Congress to stop its construction and to consider an alternative engineering study by Arthur E. Morgan.

When their efforts failed, they shifted the thrust of their activities to persuade Congress to appropriate sufficient funds to compensate the Senecas for flooding reservation land. After considering various recommendations, the 88th Congress appropriated $15 million for the Senecas as reparations for their relocation, rehabilitation, and social and economic development. Although the Senecas still owned the land, the government had purchased the right to flood portions of it. The Cornplanter Indians had been dealt with separately; the government purchased their land outright at $200 an acre.

The Seneca Nation established its own priorities for using the money. The plans included building two new towns in New York, Jimerstown and Steamburg Quaker Bridge, for the relocation of 145 families displaced by the Kinzua Dam, a project which involved the construction of access roads, water supplies, and housing; establishing an educational scholarship fund for their young people; and creating a public recreation project which would include motels, restaurants, and recreational facilities on an artificial lake plus the construction of a Williamsburg-type pre-Columbian Indian village. In August, 1964, the Forest Service was chosen to develop a master recreational plan and to administer the project with the aid of a special advisory council which included members of the Seneca Nation.

Scope and Content Note

The Walter Taylor collection is organized into five categories: correspondence, a Kinzua Dam-Seneca Indian file, a general subject file, a small miscellaneous file, and a National Congress of American Indians file. The basic outline of Taylor's filing system was retained wherever practical; however, many duplicates were discarded and many small files were consolidated under Taylor's more general headings. The bulk of the collection dates from 1959 to 1968. Much of the earlier material, 1854-1855, 1938-1939, 1944-1948, 1951-1958, contains documents used in Taylor's research activities and papers for and about Taylor predating his involvement with Quakers.

The CORRESPONDENCE, 1944-1946, 1952, 1959-1968, includes both personal and professional correspondence with most of it documenting Taylor's career as a social worker and community consultant. Scanty material from his early years in Minnesota reveals his desire to upgrade the professional standing and pay scale of social workers. Also some correspondence documents his work as a consultant in Wisconsin working with Indian communities. The letters are arranged in two files: general and specific. The bulk of the general correspondence focuses on his duties as a Quaker representative working for the Senecas. The letters reveal the development of the national campaign protesting the Kinzua Dam's construction; attempts to seek approval for an alternative site; efforts to receive just compensation for the Indians; and efforts to determine priorities in spending the money eventually allocated by Congress. They document the conflict and compromise that occurred throughout this controversy. Arrangement is chronological. The specific correspondence documents the activities of major participants in the controversy. These include advisors and Quaker committees who were sympathetic to the Seneca cause; newspaper columnist Brooks Atkinson; a heavily weeded representative sample of fan mail; Arthur Lazarus, Jr., counsel for the Senecas; Arthur E. Morgan, the consulting engineer who designed the alternative Conewango-Cattaraugus plan; and the leaders of the Seneca Nation. There is also correspondence with the White House staff and federal members of Congress and government agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. These files are arranged alphabetically and chronologically thereunder.

The KINZUA DAM-SENECA INDIAN FILE is composed of two sections: the nucleus of Taylor's personal subject file and a file of all remaining materials arranged by type of record. The latter contains agenda and minutes, broad-sides, clippings, legal records, lists, maps, newsletters, notes, pamphlets, press releases, reports, speeches, and writings. The former includes materials on the Cornplanter Indians, their efforts to use a gift of land from the Weber family as a substitute location for their cemetery which was flooded, and the failure of these attempts. Materials relating to the Seneca's efforts to obtain compensation from Congress and the uses of these funds are found in sections about education; housing and relocation; Iroquoia, an open air museum similar to Williamsburg; legislation; and welfare. Separate files about miscellaneous topics were also retained. These include finances; the documentary film The Exiles about the Kinzua Dam; Abner J. Jimerson, a Seneca who wrote about Indian law and genealogy; the Today show which devoted several segments to the Kinzua Dam affair; and the Treaty of 1794 Committee, one of the earliest committees designed to protest the dam's construction. Finally, one artificial file was created to collect several types of records produced by the government of the Seneca Nation of Indians. The materials in this series are arranged alphabetically. Most clippings from newspapers available on microfilm were destroyed although two notebooks were kept as samples. Researchers interested in extensive local newspaper accounts should consult the Salamanaca Republican Press. Since the affair received national coverage, they could also consult the index of the New York Times.

The GENERAL SUBJECT FILE series is a catch-all for Taylor's remaining files which did not relate to the Kinzua Dam or Seneca Indians, although much of it does concern Indian affairs. It includes papers on various Indian conferences and associations; on a fishing rights study regarding Indians fishing in the rivers off the Puget Sound in Washington; on the activities of the Illinois-Wisconsin Friends Committee who worked with the Menominee Indians; on the Oneida Indians with whom Taylor worked while a community consultant in Wisconsin; and on the Wisconsin Indian Summer Projects in which students developed summer recreational programs in Indian communities. Also included are Taylor's research files for Arthur E. Morgan's book, Dams and Other Disasters: A Century of Army Corps of Engineers in Civil Works. Taylor traveled throughout the country gathering research material for this book which traces the relationship between the Corps and several Indian nations and tribes. A folder on Viswanathan documents Morgan's interest in a “grass roots” undertaking in education and community development in Kerala, India. Finally, two folders trace Taylor's earlier work in social welfare including his work on a National Association of Social Workers' Subcommittee on Trends, Issues, and Priorities and his comments about the low pay that social workers received in Minnesota. The MISCELLANEOUS FILE similarly is a catch-all grouping; the Wounded Knee area photographs are in this series.

The NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS FILE is composed of correspondence, statements, and miscellaneous clippings, minutes, press releases, and resolutions, 1946-1958. It includes materials on the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota and their efforts to receive compensation for lands taken for the construction of the Garrison Reservoir; to get certain oil, grazing, and fishing rights restored after the land was sold; and to receive the money Congress eventually allocated to them.
