SUMMARY:An “Eventful and Somewhat Romantic” Life: Yan Phou Lee in America
DESCRIPTION:Yan Phou Lee (李恩富) was the first Chinese American to publish a book in the United States\, When I was a Boy in China (1887). He first came to the U.S. at the age of 12\, as a member of the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM)\, which ran from 1873 to 1881. Lee returned to the U.S. in 1884 to complete his studies at Yale College (now Yale University) and to deliberately cultivate himself as a voice for the Chinese\, a writer who sought to correct misunderstandings of China and the Chinese people and to bridge the gap between American and Chinese culture. He remained in the U.S. until 1927\, serving as a writer and editor for various newspapers and in a dizzying array of other occupations. Professor Duvall will provide an overview of Lee’s life in the US\, with a focus on his life as a writer\, his book\, and his responses to the hateful and violent Sinophobia rampant in the U.S. at the end of the 19th century. Lee’s fascinating story has much to teach us in 21st century America.

SUMMARY:At the Movies: Café Daughter
DESCRIPTION:In a small Saskatchewan town in the 1960s\, Yvette Wong\, a young girl of Chinese and Cree heritage\, struggles with her Indigenous identity amidst family tragedy in this coming-of-age film directed by Mohawk artist and filmmaker Shelley Niro. Yvette’s mother\, Katherine\, discourages her from embracing her Cree identity\, so she explores it in secret. As she learns more about herself and her Indigenous heritage\, Yvette finds a friend in Maggie Wolf\, who embraces being part Mi’kmaq and encourages Yvette to be proud of being Cree. When her classmates learn about her Cree ancestry\, Yvette encounters the realities of being Indigenous\, facing prejudice with pride and holding fast to her dream of becoming a doctor. Café Daughter is inspired by true events and based on Kenneth T. Williams’ play of the same name. A Q&A with director Shelley Niro follows the film. The National Museum of the American Indian is proud to present a special screening of Shelley Niro’s latest feature film at our New York museum in conjunction with the exhibition Shelley Niro: 500 Year Itch.
