  1. The Forest County Potawatomi Foundation and Hmong American Friendship Association sustains a beautiful partnership in Milwaukee. In conversations with the executive directors of each site (Kaye Garcia -FCPF & Loneng Kiatoukaysy -HAFA), missions are merged along the deep appreciation for cultural history with traditional customs, for civic services, longstanding support to youth education of dance, and instruments. HAFA youth have honorably provided instrument services at celebrations such as the Hmong New Year in Milwaukee, and at funerals for community members (drumming and qeej) which is often a role of adults. On a more social note, each summer (2 yrs consecutively) I have MC’d at the HAFA Golf Fundraiser and have met the members of FCPF including Chairman “Gus” Frank and his executive council, who have graciously helped HAFA organize and hold the fundraiser itself. This pairing of Hmong and Native American relations in the city is true heart. I am not employed with neither, rather genuinely touched by the connections.
