Division: Senior individual documentary
Ranking: Finalist, 14th in the nation
Some of the original music used in this video comes from a CD produced by the Meskwaki Nation called "From the Lodges of the Meskwaki Nation." It is available for purchase at the Meskwaki Nation's museum.
In retrospect, looking at the video in 2019, I would change the title. While the Meskwaki are the last federally recognized tribe based in Iowa, they are certainly not the only ones with land claims and deep heritage in this state (especially the Ioway people, for whom the state was named).
If you have any urgent corrections to add, feel free to contact me via Instagram / alexbaretv and I will happily note them here. I was 18 when I made this documentary and I know that my research was not complete and may contain inaccuracies.
Many thanks to the interviewees and others who helped me along the way, especially those at the Meskwaki Tribal Museum!
