Description
Scope/Content: Kagna Meils lived in a largely agricultural village in Laos where she mainly focused on school before her family was forced to escape because of the war that took place against the communist regime. As one of the first Laotians in Winfield, Kansas highschool she had many first hand experiences with discrmination, which she learned to deal with in many ways. By the time she graduated, the Lao Community had exponentially grown which allowed her, for the first time in many years, to connect with others of the same culture and help prevent other Laotians from facing the same treatment she experienced.
