𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧

What started as a simple fishing trip turned into something so much more, 𝐚 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Last week, our elders cast their lines for Buffalo Fish at Lowell Dam. Over the course of the week, they've shares ideas on what to cook and got to enjoy the fruits of that experience together.

Our Cultural Food Program Coordinator, Rasami Moua and her elders group were able to prepared these beautiful spread of traditional and inspired dishes:

𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍

Buffalo fish are in season and in abundance. Our elder, who are deeply connected to nature know this well.

Fishing has long been a part of Hmong culture, not just as a way to catch food, but as a way of life rooted in survival, knowledge of the land, and time spent together as family and community.

Today, Rasami Moua and our elders group took a fishing trip to Lowell Dam to fish for buffalo fish. For some of our elders, it was their very first time learning how to use a fishing pole. With guidance and support from Tais Xyooj Mim Thao Cha and JinYi Vang, who are experienced fishermen, everyone had the opportunity to learn how to use a pole, bait, and cast.

We were able to get out into nature, share lots of laughter, learn together, and enjoy beautiful moments throughout the day. We think we did a pretty great job for our first fishing trip together!
See you on our next adventure! 😁🎣🐟

𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬
This past weekend at the Green Bay Botanical Garden, New Hmong experienced something truly meaningful & unforgettable at the 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 & 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭.

What began as an idea grew into something beautifully intentional. Every detail within our exhibit space was thoughtfully curated, each piece placed with care, each story shared with purpose. The display reflected more than artistry, it embodied identity, memory, and legacy… brought to life through the hands & hearts of our Program Coordinator, Rasami Moua, Paj Ntaub Instructor Ly Myia, our elders and all of the participants of 𝐏𝐚𝐣 𝐍𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐛 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 (PNC). Have a look at the video of the setup of our exhibit.

𝐀 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫:
We were honored to be invited by Lindi Kuritz of the Green Bay Area EGA to host an exhibit at their biannual 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

The past several months, I found myself reflecting deeply on how to best represent my Hmong people, the culture, our history, & the intricate beauty of our needlework alongside the elders & participants of our PNC.

What came together was more than an exhibit. It was a journey, a journey shaped by late nights, quiet reflection, and creative vision. Every piece held meaning. From traditional to modernized Hmong clothing I’ve collected over the years, were brought out and placed onto mannequins—to the Hmong Baby Carrier and the rediscovery of our matching mother-daughter Hmong hats I created for me and my daughter when she was just 1 month old. Each carried its own story, its own heartbeat. That moment alone was deeply nostalgic & grounding for me.

To showcase the completed needlework from our PNC over the years, each stitch representing time, patience & tradition was truly priceless. Most importantly, this, a gateway for our elders to step out & share who we are as Hmong people, our history, our resilience & our journey to the United States over 50 years ago was the most meaningful part of it all.

We are grateful for the opportunity to honor our culture, uplift our elders, share our stories & needlework with the broader community. Thank you! - Rasami Moua
