67 - S. Asian Immigration and the Pacific Northwest - 1800s to present

Immigrants in Canada and the United States are rich with history. In this episode, we discuss South Asian immigrants who traveled from British Columbia to Oregon, mainly men. The men lived and worked together in St Johns and Astoria Oregon. They faced racism and prejudice on Oregon, but built a political group aiming at bettering their lives around the world. These men were supported in their efforts by Finnish, Irish, Chinese, and Mexican immigrants.
