The Tai Studies Center was founded in January of 1984 by a group of Tai
Dam refugees and some of their American friends.
The purpose of the TSC is to research and publish Tai history and
literature, to preserve and promote Tai culture, to support students in
higher education, to promote the common welfare and well being of Tai
people, and to promote intercultural understanding and cooperation in the
community at large.
Their projects include the Tai Village cultural center in Des Moines,
facilitating cultural exchanges and advocacy in solidarity with Tai Dam
communities in Iowa and Vietnam.
