A ten minute documentary on the Maine Indian Land Claims Case. Written, filmed, narrated and edited by my daughter, Shireen Fotouhi Hinckley (15, Grade 10, Winchester High School). She conducted the interviews in August of 2007.
This was a Senior Division, Individual Documentary submission to the 2008 National History Day competition. The topic this year was "Conflict and Compromise." It won an Honorable Mention in the Boston-area Regional Competition.

She hopes to get permission from the Passamaquoddy Tribe to do a longer version of the documentary this summer. She has several hours of interviews, and would like to conduct more. The NHD submission was limited to 10 minutes, and a great deal of information had to be left out.
