Members of the Hmong community in the Twin Cities are trying to keep pressure on the U.S. government to help their relatives in Laos. More than 4-thousand Hmong were deported to Laos from Thailand late last month. Mee Vang is with the Hmong Diaspora Leadership Council, which sponsored a town hall style meeting last night in St. Paul. She says she wants the U.S. to monitor the treatment of the deported.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
