Abstract:

An estimated twenty thousand fled religious and political persecution in Vietnam and found a new home in North Carolina. An indigenous community comprising about thirty tribal groups, they're often referred to as the Montagnards, a term meaning "mountain people”. Today, North Carolina is home to the largest Montagnard community outside of Vietnam.
