Why Did San Lucy Village Move?
San Lucy Village was not always in its current spot. The community had to move because of a big construction project. This project was the building of the Painted Rock Dam. Dams are large barriers built across rivers to hold back water, often for flood control or to create reservoirs. The dam's construction meant the original village location would be affected, so the community relocated to its present site.
