IU student equips Indiana educators with vital Chin cultural and languages training

News
Indiana is home to 40,000 people who moved from Chin State in western Burma (also known as Myanmar) due in part to military violence and ethno-religious persecution. Sui Hnem Par came to the United States as a child, eventually settling in Indianapolis and quickly adjusting to a new culture, language and way of life. Now, as an Indiana University Bloomington doctoral education student, she is on a mission to develop literacy materials to better serve her community.
Throughout her time in the U.S. education system, well-meaning educators often assumed Par was culturally and ethnically Burmese since she was from Burma.
