Learn about Saint Paul’s growing Hmong community. Kao (COW) Kalia (Kah-lee-ah) Yang, author of, “The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir”, will share her family’s experience of living in a refugee camp in Thailand before resettling in the United States. The Hmong fought against communism in Laos during the Vietnam War. They were allied with the Kingdom of Laos forces and the United States. After the Communist victory in 1975, the political movement known as the Pathet Lao responded with a campaign of near genocide, annihilating an estimating 100,000 of 400,000 Hmong in Laos. Many fled to Western countries like the U.S. Today Saint Paul, Minnesota has the largest Hmong population per capita in the U.S.
3 HMONG NEWS: Fundraiser to celebrate the victory of burial benefits for Hmong and Lao veterans.
(May 18, 2018) - At a fundraiser in St. Paul, Hmong veterans gathered to celebrate the passage of the Hmong Veteran's Service Recognition Act. A bill that extends burial benefits to Hmong and Lao soldiers who fought in the CIA-led Secret War in Laos to be buried in national cemetery. Hmong SGU Veterans & Families Development of USA's President ChueChong Tchang says it took ten years for Washington to pass the Hmong Veterans’ Service Recognition Act. In 2000, The United States passed the Hmong Veterans Naturalization Act which also took ten years. Many veterans have passed since that bill was signed into law. Today there are less then 6,000 Hmong veterans alive.

Hip Hop/Hip Hope: The (R)Evolution of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy with Gloria Ladson-Billings
Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor Emerita, University of Wisconsin's Department of Curriculum and Instruction and Kellner Family Distinguished Professor in Urban Education, celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the Brodie Family Lecture with her talk on culturally relevant pedagogy.
Since the initial introduction of culturally relevant pedagogy, our schools and classrooms have grown even more complex. The combination of rapid technologies and the enthusiasm of youth culture make it necessary for teachers (at all levels) to rethink their practice. Even culturally relevant pedagogy must evolve. This talk speaks to the way the evolution of culturally relevant pedagogy may insure that more students experience success both in and out of the classroom.
Ladson-Billings is also the president of the National Academy of Education.

Miss Minnesota credits success to Osseo District teaching job
On June 13 at Eden Prairie High School, a stunned Rachel Latuff received her crown as the new Miss Minnesota.
At the time, I remember being confident, but then I almost had an aspect of fear, like, can I do this job? Latuff said.
Latuff visited the 12 News studio this week as part of a media tour to introduce herself to the public.
My life has been a whirlwind, Latuff said. I basically tell everybody that I've been hitting the ground running because I'm getting ready for Miss America, turning in paperwork, having these appearances.
However, Latuff is no stranger to the Channel 12 airwaves. We last met her in June of 2014 as she was finishing up her first year as an art teacher at North View Junior High in Brooklyn Park. At the time, she was vying for the Miss Minnesota title as Miss Saint Paul.
When I was Miss Saint Paul last year, I was fourth runner-up, and I was actually very pleased with my performance, Latuff said. I had come a long way, and for me, that was a success.
In the year since, she moved on to teach at a high school in northern Minnesota.
I stopped teaching at North View Junior High because I really wanted to focus on developing my understanding of the Ojibwe culture, she said. That's always been one of my dreams is teaching near a reservation.
Yet even with teaching a new group of students in a remote part of the state, she didn't give up her dreams for the crown.
In fact, she says her stint as a teacher in Brooklyn Park inspired her platform of 'Teaching the Heart: Building the Social and Emotional Wellness of Youth and Their Teachers.'
Osseo Area Schools has influenced me so much with my platform because they really value this aspect of finding a child's identity and welcoming that, and finding a way to make it thrive in the community, which I think is so important, she said.
Today, Latuff's reach is limited to Minnesota. But she hopes it extends beyond that.
I never would have been as strong of a teacher if it wasn't for my experiences working with my children at North View.
As Miss Minnesota, Latuff acts as an ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. She also plans to go into schools to talk to students about bullying, cultural acceptance and having value for their teachers.

150 Years of Human Rights in Minnesota
In 1858, Minnesota was admitted to the Union. Its constitution declared that there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the state. Thus, Minnesota joined the ranks of 16 other free states in a nation that also included 15 states where the slavery of African Americans was legal. Only three years later, Minnesotans would be among the first to answer the call to fight in a bloody Civil War, a war that would settle the matter of slavery, yet leave much work undone—work that continues today, as America still seeks to fulfill the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed to all.
In this look back at Minnesota's 150 years of statehood, we recall some of the milestones that have marked the struggle for human rights in our state. It's an epic story, a blockbuster, with twists and turns and fascinating characters—and it's still being written. It's a story to which we all can still contribute, but to do so, we need to know what's happened so far.

The UpTake Leadership Profile: DANIEL YANG
UpTake Leadership Profile by Allison Herrera
Daniel Yang is part of a new cohort of young leaders in the Native American community in South Minneapolis, a half-Native, half-Asian grassroots activist with a passion for public service and a special compassion for refugees. The experience of being lost, exiled and afraid is one his family knows well: Yang's father was a Hmong refugee who, along with his Ojibwe mother, instilled a commitment to social justice and community service in his son.
Yang's unusual journey to community leadership in Minnesota began in the jungles of Laos.
His background — a Hmong father who escaped Laos for the freedom of America, and a mother who is part of a long line of Ojibwe people from Red Lake, Minnesota — gives Yang a unique lens on life. Hearing the stories his father told as they made their way to visit a refugee camp in Thailand informed Yang's sense of justice, compassion and a deep desire to make things right.
He remembers this heartbreaking story of struggle and helplessness that his father told him:
During the Vietnam war, when Yang's father was a young boy, his father and family were forced to dodge bullets and bombs as they fled their village in the mountains of Laos, seeking safety in Thailand. They had reached the final stage of their journey, trekking through dense jungle, when they heard a noise coming from the bushes. Expecting to be ambushed by soldiers, they sat quietly. Instead of soldiers, out came a young girl, the same age as Yang's father. She, too had fled with a group of refugees days earlier, but her mother had fallen ill and could not keep up. Fearing that the girl's mother would put the group in jeopardy if they waited while she recovered, they decided to move on. Only the girl had been brave enough to stay with her mother, despite the pleas of the group to abandon her. The girl stayed by her mother's side, until the mother she died. When Yang's father and his group came across this lost young girl, they already were carrying all they could. Every adult was carrying a child. They weren't able to take the orphaned girl with them.They gave her the food they could spare, and went on.
Yang's father told him how distraught he was seeing another young person suffer and how his grandfather and their village already had struggled so much for survival. They carried on. Some of them did not make it, but Yang's father managed to survive. He came to Minnesota, on a mission to serve people. The same mission his son has taken upon himself.
The Phillips Neighborhood in Minneapolis has one of the largest concentrations of Native Americans in the country. Many still face an uphill struggle due to high rates of poverty, lack of access to housing and adequate health care and some substance abuse, including alcohol. But things are getting better and that is in part due to the work of Yang and others who head up the Native American Community Development Institute, or NACDI.
NACDI has played an integral role in revitalizing Franklin Avenue and re-branding it as the American Indian Cultural Corridor — a showcase of self-determination, Native pride and a vision for the future in which one of the most disadvantaged parts of the city becomes an example of self-sustaining success. The effort has visibly changed the community by displaying the art, culture and heritage of Minnesota's first peoples, and Yang's efforts and community leadership have spearheaded some of the most visible projects. Such as colorful street banners that welcome people in the Dakota and Ojibwe languages. Yang says that this re-branding of the avenue makes an important declaration of community and space for Native people living there.
