Research and Support Teams, Who’s Who

Framing the Montagnard legal perspective as the intersection of Montagnard CULTURE crushed by US intervention and war, HISTORIC CLAIMS to ancestral lands, HUMAN AND INTERNATIONAL RIGHTS as indigenous people and US LAW and CIVIL RIGHTS. Outside the community, this perspective is almost wholly unknown. Located in the American South, with its own history of inequality, it finds itself among new immigrant communities and a largely unresponsive local government.
