The American Folklife Center is excited to announce the online availability of an excellent fieldwork collection of interviews and videos of cultural events created through its Community Collection Grants (CCG)! “Lao Buddhist New Year Festival in Southern Louisiana,” documents the Louisiana Lao New Year Festival presented in 2022 by Wat Thammarattanaram, a Buddhist temple and monastery in Broussard (Iberia Parish), Louisiana. A community-based research team conducted interviews and captured video of events, ceremonies, and celebrations. Find links to the collection in this blog post.
