Very primitive by our standards
Why is Thailand Important?
Chin refugees usually seek exile in
Their camps are also viewed as very primitive by our standards
Why is Malaysia Important?
-Depends on where they resided in Burma as well as the tribe to which they belonged, I94- tells where they came from/They tell us who they are and what part of Burma they are from
Look similar – U.S. State Dept. paperwork tells us Burmese culture and tribe
Different religious callings – Buddhists vs. Christian
Camps look similar
Main Goal is the same: SURVIVAL
How Do We Tell The Difference in Refugees?

Geography of Burmese Refugees
Hill people
- Rice is essential to daily existence – synonymous to life itself (diabetes risk)
- Tropical monsoon climate – why they wear opened-toed sandals and no winter coats
- Emphasis on family and community
- A respect for elders and ancestors
- Americans encounter 3 main groups of Burmese: Burmans, Karen and Chin
Shared Cultural Burmese Characteristics
To be able to find another country to call home where they are free from harm
To be given a second chance at life where they will not have to live in fear
To resettle where they will find others like themselves
To find and experience the American dream – live free and have all that we have
Why Did Refugees Start Coming to Indianapolis?
