I graduated from Duke University in the spring of 2003 with a degree
in history and an interest in photographing local and indigenous
communities. As a Hine Fellow in 2003–2004, I was placed with
the PACOS
(Partners of Community Organizations) Trust in Sabah, Malaysia.
PACOS is a community-based organization created to develop the overall
quality of life of indigenous communities in Sabah, Malaysia's second
largest state. By documenting the history of these communities,
which are located in forested land that is being razed for oil palm
plantations, PACOS works for the legal recognition of indigenous
people's land rights.
