Colorado Asian Pacific United is looking to gather the oral histories of those integral to the Little Saigon district in Dener.

Spanning from Mississippi to Alameda on Federal Blvd, this area has been home to several multi-ethnic businesses, including strong Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian representation. If you are looking for delicious pho, authentic durian fruit, or Asian goods & gifts- this is the place to go. In the 1980s, Colorado saw an influx of Southeast Asian refugees after the conflicts in Southeast Asia. Arriving with little to nothing, these refugees were able to rebuild their lives and create an ethnic enclave reminiscent of home. Little Saigon is a testament to the resilience of this community. 

Colorado Asian Pacific United is now looking to document the stories of those who were integral to the creation and maintenance of the Little Saigon Area.
