Location: Oregon State University Native American Longhouse Eena Haws The OMA was honored to be asked to record the student dialogues and make the conversation available online:Īrts and Social Justice Practicum Winter 2016 The goal of a virtual diary is to provide broad access to the stories so that there can be connections made between many more story circles that will help connect groups with each other or even re-connect members within a group. The diary medium was specifically chosen since it enables individuals to share their experiences in a more personal and meaningful way. The stories are showcased in the format of a virtual diary and blog. And so, they decided to embark on an arts/oral history project to gather together students of both communities to share stories about immigration, assimilation, journeys, and aspirations in connection to themselves as individuals or with their parents. Yang’s family is Hmong and Verdugo’s is Latinx and while their family stories are unique, they found they had many similarities. The project began when Yang and Verdugo began sharing both their passion for art as well as their connections to their families’ immigration stories.
