Physical resistance only shrunk, not stopped, forced flooding of Tuscarora land

Evidence

In 1958, the New York State Power Authority attempted to seize half of the Tuscarora reservation; when the Tuscaroras physically blocked access to the site, “a ‘compromise’ was then implemented in which the state flooded ‘only’ 560 acres, or about one-eighth of the remaining Tuscarora land.” — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 93
