Chief Cornplanter’s Grave Monument

(1750-1836) Cornplanter, was a Seneca war chief of the Wolf clan. The monument is located in Corydon township along the Eastern shores of the Allegheny Kinzua Water Reservoir. In 1965 when the Reservoir was completed and flooded, the grave and monument needed to be moved to higher ground as seen in the video. The video was filmed with my DJI Spark Drone. The drone reach an altitude of 282 feet above the lakes water level and traveled a third of a mile over water and forest to observer the monument. I flew the drone from a boat anchored in Willow Bay. There are no trespassing signs on the shore near the grave, denying permission to explore the property by foot.
