Hearts of Freedom: Stories of Southeast Asian Refugees Museum Reception and Talk
In the late 1970s Canada welcomed thousands of Southeast Asian refugees who were fleeing their homes. Many organizations in the Humboldt region sponsored a refugee family in order to help them begin their new life in Canada. Nha and Dan Tran, proprietors of Humboldt’s Trans Cafe, and their family fled Vietnam and were sponsored by the community of Watson in 1980. They chose to build their life and raise their family in the Humboldt region.
On September 24, we are welcoming the Hearts of Freedom curator, Dr. Stephanie Stobbe, to the Museum via Zoom to talk about her work. Join us to view the story of Nha and Dan Tran, share your memories or knowledge of the refugees from Vietnam who came to the Humboldt region, and learn more about all of the Southeast Asian refugees who fled to Canada.
This event is possible thanks to the support of Culture Days funding, with support from SaskCulture and Sask Lotteries.
