  A new locally-produced documentary in the works explores the role and fragmentation of native peoples during the American Revolution. Greg Hitchcock, based in Gloversville, is the filmmaker behind the project focused on the Haudenosaunee, also called the Iroquois Confederacy. 
 

WAMC's Lucas Willard spoke with Hitchcock about his yet-to-be titled film, which was supported by a micro-grant from by the Albany-based Center for Law and Justice.  

Lucas Willard is a news reporter and host at WAMC Northeast Public Radio, which he joined in 2011. He produces and hosts The Best of Our Knowledge and WAMC Listening Party.
