https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m What is the value in learning about the HCC? How do their efforts relate to your work? What are their assets? In what ways can this be a reciprocal partnership? en-us 2016-12-02 19:12:31 UTC 2025-09-27 17:38:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/141513586 Knowing ones history is an asset to both people of a culture and to others outside of the culture. Valuing cultural rituals and celebrations (marriages and funerals) by teaching the young the songs, the music, the tradition helps keep the culture alive and connected.  I learned more about Hmong culture and history which helps me understand and hopefully connect better with families.]]> 2016-12-02 21:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/141513586 https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/141516397 Loved the visit. I learned many new things about the Hmong culture, history and experiences in the US/MN. Great resource for people working with this population, which I can share with the teachers I work with.

I am interested in what these folks experience living in China is like. 
I think the HCC is a very important organization as an institution that supports al education and Hmong culture.  I was very impressed with the library's doctoral work on Hmong people/cultures. 
I also, noticed the importance (and difficulty) of grant money for these organizations to continue their valuable work in the community. Also it was noticed, how there is competition/conflicting views amongst community members in collaborating to support and improve on an already existing organization. JVS

Such an awesome resource for the Hmong community and all the different communities out there. Lots of interesting data they are collecting on the Hmong people. ]]> 2016-12-05 15:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/141761451 nelson_perez https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/141780292 I enjoyed knowing that there is so much resource about the history of the Hmong people available. I believe in the future we can collaborate with this agency for awareness and education .

Much of what was written on the panels I already knew. I wonder how much of this was written or influenced by the Hmong community rather than through research or the pulling of archives.  I wonder what is the fate of this resource and how the community finds it's value when there are not new waves of immigrants. I wonder in what ways the Karen population has connected to this resource, if at all. I also wonder about the maintenance of historical information and files in non-electronic ways. I know nonprofits often move slower in this area, yet it is of great importance to keep that data. Is the community vying for the sustainability of this organization or moving towards some of the larger organizations in the metro area?

It is definitely a great resource for the community. I do hope that the HCC continue to receive grants to preserve, if not all, some parts of the Hmong culture and history. The classes such as the wedding/funeral rituals are great because families are not teaching them to their children as often or at all today.]]> 2016-12-06 00:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/141910213 https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/144041660 I enjoyed learning the history of Hmong in Minnesota.  It was great to see artifacts from the culture as well.  The Library was impressive with all the research papers.  This is such a great resource!
It is clear that this resource will need funds to keep the materials it has in great condition and to expand.  I hope that they at least find money ensure preserving what they have.
I wonder how they could outreach differently / more to gain more traffic and recognition in the community.]]> 2016-12-16 13:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/w4lcdtvdw48m/wish/144041660
