Data collection is underway in California

First-person stories, oral histories, and sentiment analysis are collected — with informed consent — from local Lao community members. A research partnership in California is required before narratives can be ethically gathered and shared.

Minnesota is the only state with fully collected community data today. The six other featured states (CA, TX, WA, TN, UT, AZ) — including California — have active partnership scopes underway.
