Hmong refugees adapt traditional Asian farming to Alaska realities
by Kathleen McCoy |
UAA master's student Margaret Brady recently studied Alaska Hmong refugees for her thesis in anthropology. Working one-on-one with individuals from Anchorage's Hmong population, she was specifically interested in how they have adapted their culturally rich gardening practices to the realities of Alaska's climate and wildlife. Brady defended her resulting 200-page master's thesis, which included 15 formal interviews with members of the Hmong community, in late October 2011.
