Justin Schapp is an Indigenous Studies Professor at St. Bonaventure University. He is from the Seneca Nation Allegany Territory where he resides, working and lively closely with his community. His mother, Cheryl Tome, is a survivor from the Kinzua Dam removal which displaced over 100 Seneca families. This action taken against the Seneca Nation of Indians is a clear example of environmental racism that has caused intergenerational trauma.
