Hmong Chronicles: Shoua Lee interprets as a young child

Young refugee and immigrant children were often the interpreters for their parents in school, hospital, and other institutional settings. Shoua Lee (writer, St. Paul, MN) shares her experience as a young child interpreting for her parents and reflecting on the miscommunication that happens when there is a lack of understanding of the needs of refugee communities. In 2016, the Hmong Museum hosted a series called Hmong Chronicles which invited Hmong American artists to collaborate with Hmong elders and create a public performance or talk. Hmong Chronicles was developed to revive oral storytelling in the modern age. Events were made possible by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Minnesota State Arts Board through grant from the Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, the Ramsey County Library, and donations from individuals like you. hmongmuseumMN.org hmongmuseum@gmail.com   / hmongmuseum
