Interviewing everyone that we can

trying to find a needle in a hay stack

While we came to field school with a small understanding and a few texts under our belts little did we know the information that we were missing and what we had left to find out.

Some information was found through endless hours in libraries and archives, but to me I found a lot of really great information from running around talking to locals and digging in the dirt.

Leo Ariwite, Mark Perrault, the Woodsons, Les Gilman, and Jim and Addie Anderson and many others were all such huge helps that I was lucky to work with throughout the trip, there would still be a lot of missing puzzle pieces if it weren't for their knowledge and enthusiasm!
And while a finished cut is still a little while off, making the documentary and learning the local history and documenting the field school really was a great experience that I have a lot of appreciation for.
