  • The film, Beneath the Surface: The Storied History of Onondaga Lake, covers the amazing history of the lake and the remarkable impact it has had on our American Way of Life over the past six centuries. From the birthplace of the Great Law of Peace and the great Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the first representative democracy in the west, to the production of the country’s largest supply of some of its most important commodities and innovative products, to the Resort Era and the WPA project that built Onondaga Lake Park, to the most polluted lake in America, to one of the largest Superfund Clean-up sites in history, to a tourist attraction and the center of economic, cultural, recreational, educational, and natural development in our community.

    Indian are all over these United States. Their history, culture is to be remembered along with white settlers seeking a new way in a new land.

    Stopped by in 2021 to check on the successful environmental cleanup effort and the restoration of Onondaga Lake for multi-use today! Always loved the lake regattas from the shoreline before the cleanup effort, and of course, Hoffman hotdogs across from the park and the Salt Museum. A display was featured on the original environmental plan at the Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) in Downtown, Syracuse, New York.
    The Oneida Nation and the 6 tribes are important today as part of land claims which are occurring with the local, state and federal governments.

      This is great to see. I hope the Six Nations see a fair and equitable voice in this whole matter. Now more than ever, we need their wisdom and guidance as a united nation.
      It's funny that you mention the hotdogs. I always wondered what the big deal was. As a child my father took a new job and we moved to Pittsburgh, PA. My family would regularly travel back to Syracuse just to see friends and would stop to eat Hofmann hots and buy a many packs as would fit in a cooler! And don't forget Grandmas Baked Beans from Mexico, New York!

    This is a wonderful video. Thank you so very much. This history is as important as any other that we’ve been made to learn.

    This is a small part of a much longer film produced by the Executive Director of the OHA, Gregg Tripoi. I had the enjoyment of watching it in the company of friends a few summers ago. It is well made and provides great insight into the history of Onondaga Lake. Your time is well spent seeking a venue to see the entire film. Sedona Thomas Brown

    This looks really good. Stuff I wish the history Channel still did. Haha any chance I might be able to rent this? I'm out of state but grew up in Camillus. I'd love to see this.

    I really want to see the bottom of the lake but if I went down there the mercury,soda ash and sewage etc. would kill me 💀

      We were pleased at the investments to cleanup Onondaga Lake for multi-use, including fishing and swimming; though we all do know the history of heavy manufacturing and how difficult and long the process of cleanup can be. Reports of success!
