This clandestine loan-savings scheme was a way for low-income Vietnamese refugees to buy their first family car, start a small business or make a home deposit.

Key Points: 
  • This clandestine loan-savings scheme was a way for low-income Vietnamese refugees to buy their first family car, start a small business or make a home deposit.
  • They survive today in rural areas and overseas diaspora communities who have struggled to secure bank loans and legal credit.
  • It is interesting that multiple cultures across the Moana-Pacific use the term “Hui” to describe a collective gathering or negotiation.

Vietnamese diaspora

    • With this mass intake, fragmented resettlement programs and unreliable social and legal services compounded the realities of post-traumatic stress and poverty.
    • The outer suburbs where our families could afford to live – Cabramatta, Footscray, Richmond, and Inala – quickly gained a reputation for gang violence, becoming infamous as the drug-riddled Vietnamese ghettos of the eastern seaboard.

Collective sharing

    • Class affiliations meant people could reconnect through well-established social networks to form tightly regulated Hụi clubs wherever we resettled.
    • Monthly payments could range anywhere between $200 and $5,000, depending on the risk tolerance and income bracket of each club.
    • These collective savings schemes were risky, with no legal recourse if members decided to Dựt Hụi, or “do a runner”.
    • Intrinsically collective and self-determined, Hụi encourages unexpected forms of cultural agency and mobilisation beyond institutional permission or containment.

Playing the Đông Sơn Drum

    • The Đông Sơn Drum is an ancient ceremonial instrument woven into the mythology and identity of Vietnamese people.
    • These drums are held in colonial museums and ethnographic collections the world over.
    • We had the quick cash to purchase a Đông Sơn drum when it came up at a local estate auction.

OTTAWA, June 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A comprehensive analysis of the federal government’s National Action Plan to address violence against Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people finds little progress has been made over the past year to reduce the shocking number of murders and disappearances.

Key Points: 
  • When the National Action Plan was released, NWAC dismissed it as an aspirational document with no funding, timelines, or measurable goals.
  • The federal budget of 2021 directed $2.2 billion over five years to address the genocide against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people.
  • The National Action Plan, as it was drafted, was actually a recipe for inaction, and the people represented by our organization are paying the price.
  • The Annual Scorecard of the National Action Plan and The Scorecard of the NWAC National Action Plan: Our Calls, Our Actions are available at www.NWAC.ca .
