�In Memory of
Noreth Tim Som
(1961 to 1997)
The 1997 Southeast Asian Water Festival is dedicated to
the memory of our late colleague Noreth Tim Som.
Noreth's loss was felt deeply through the planning of this
event, to which he gave so much of his heart. He made
invaluable contributions to the Festival through his
knowledge of the Lowell community and Cambodian
culture.
Noreth was an employee of the City of Lowell Health
Department through a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grant. Our thoughts are with his wife
and two daughters.
The Southeast Asian Water Festival Committee would
like to thank Andy Chung, owner of the Lin Garden
restaurant in Dracut, who hosted a memorial dinner
attended by 100 persons that raised funds for Nore th' s
family.
�About the Southeast Asian Water Festival
A Cambodian proverb tells, " Where there is water, there is afish. "
For centuries in Southeast Asia, the Water Festival has celebrated the importance of water
in all aspects of life. Water has always represented prosperity, life and goodness to the
Southeast Asian people. Buddhist scripture explains that the Water Festival is held to
thank the spirit of the water; to pray for evil spirits to go away; and to honor the Dragon
King who dwells in the water. The Festival also asks the water spirit for forgiveness for
"dirtying"the water - for example, by using it to irrigate soil.
Fishermen and farmers rely on their rivers, lakes and ponds for their livelihood. Villages
sprout next to riverbanks. In recent years, water has also come to symbolize economic
development. Khy Taing Lim, director of the National Mekong River Commission, said,
"Water is our soil, our mines of gold, our main natural resource ... we must use our water
to export, and get foreign currency to develop the country."
During the races, known as Bon Om Tuk in Khmer or Boun Song Hae in Laotian, people
of all ages gather at the riverbanks to sing, dance, and watch the rowing races for three
days in November.
In Lowell, the Southeast Asian Water Festival began as a project funded by the National Institu
of Environmental Health Sciences. The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association; the City of
Lowell Health Department; the Laotian American Organization; and the UMass Lowell Center
for Family, Work and Community formed the original working group. The intent was to recrea
a time-honored tradition for the first time ever outside of Asia, to encourage the community to
work toward many common goals; and to learn from the Southeast Asian community about
important environmental and health issues.
Planning began late in 1996. We welcome your comments and look foward to working with ye
for future Festivals. We would also like to thank Mr. Edward Shih-Chung Wang, coordinator f
the Festival. What you see today represents the work of hundreds of people from throughout 0 1
community. We hope you and your family enjoy the day, and we hope to meet you at the
Merrimack River for many years to come.
Ms. Jane Benfey, City of Lowell Health Department
Mr. Samkhann Khoeun, Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association
Mr. Richard Scott, Lowell Heritage State Park
Dr. Linda Silka, UMass Lowell Center for Family, Work & Community

�The Rowing Races
Boat racing is an integral part of the Water Festival in Laos and Cambodia. Racing teams from throughout the different countries compete for the right to represent their temples in national championships
held every November on the Mekong River in Phnom Penh and Vientiane, the capitals of Cambodia and
Laos respectively.
In Lowell, we have adapted this time-honored tradition to the Merrimack River. Our boats, which were
built in Cambodia, are about 30 feet long and hold 16 team members. The racing boats are sponsored in
part by Saints Memorial Medical Center.
Teams representing local businesses and community organizations will race against each other and the
clock. The two teams with the best times will be invited to compete in the final race at 3:50 p .m.
We would like to thank Boat Committee members Tom Benfey, Bill McGowan of the UMass Lowell
crew team, Ken Northrop of the Lowell Parks & Recreation Department, and Richard Racicot of the
Lowell Festival Foundation for ensuring a safe and enjoyable day of racing for all participants.

�The Mekong River
flows down from
Tibet to China and
through Burma;
Laos, Thailand,
Cambodia, and
Vietnam.
In the languages of
these countries, the
mighty Mekong
River is known as:
the Water of Stone,
the Turbulent River,
the Mother of Waters, the Great Water, and the River of
Nine Dragons.

ater, like the god Siva, is both
the source of creation and a
great destroyer ef life. It feeds
the land from which the rice springs forth; it
sustains the fish in lakes and rivers. It can also
be an implacable force, sweeping away all
before it. From time immemorial, the lives of
the people of Southeast Asia have been dictated by the alternating southwest and northeast
monsoons, steady winds each prevailing for
half ayear. So come the rains followed by
months of parched earth, extremes of flood and
of drought. The cycle of the seasons, both a
blight and ablessing, could never be broken,
but it was the genius of Angkor to master it.
Inheriting the hydraulic engineering brilliance
oJ Funan, the ancient Khmer constructed
canals and reservoirs, moats and pools in a
huge system that tamed water, accommodated
its excess, provided for its lack. In essence,
--
Angkor was created from complete mastery
over water and it was awater-borne empire.
Not one of sailing ships and merchant princes,
but one of irrigation assuring abundant harvests, of canals affording ease of access, even
of water balancing the massive stone temples.
As asymbol, too, water in the moats surrounding the great temple mountains represented the
cosmic ocean. Water was also leisure and
Angkor's aristocracy would have cheered at
boat races, laughed on amorous outings to
pleasure pools. With decline, Angkor lost its
ascendancy over water. Canals and reservoirs
fell into disrepair as the empire weakened and
crumbled. Water, once again unbridled, took
control. More than plants, more than man,
water has undermined Angkor's monumental
glory. Yet, although no longer in exquisite balance, water continues to sustain - as well as to
amuse -life at Angkor.

Below: A drawing based on Bas-Relief dipicling Naval Bal/le commendering by Jayavarman VII, Banteay Chmar, late 12th century
�Rites & Rhythm
(Reprinted from Cambodia: Th e Legend Comes to Life)
Long and sleek, brightly colored, with curving prows pointing high, the fleet of racing
boats looks from the bottom of the sea to come and play in the water.
Light glints off paddles plunging in unison into the river. Drums beat time. The arms
of dancers undulate gracefully in the bows. Along the shores of the Tonie Sap river, crowds
cheer while ministers, ambassadors and other
dignitaries surround the King in his pavilion.
Villagers gather from far and wide-for many ,
their only occasion to visit their capital-to
encourage their boat to victory. It is the Water
Festival, Cambodia' s biggest and most gala
celebration: three days in November when the
nation puts aside work and care, and honors the
great naval warriors and accomplishments of the
past. The celebration also marks a unique
natural phenomenon: the changing of the flow of
the Tonie Sap, the river and lake system which
is the heart of Cambodia. From Phnom Penh to
Siemreap, this land of water turns into one
grand party-Cambodia's Mardi Gras.
Hundreds of longboats, propelled by
precision-trained crews, compete for honor and
glory in two-and three boat heats along a 1,000meter course to the King's Pavilion in Phnom
Penh . In Siemreap, smaller boats race in the
more confined waters of Angkor Wat's moat.
The Festival comprises three celebrations-a tribute to water, the ceremony of Ok
Ambok (the pounding of the Rice), and Sampeah
Preah Khai (the full moon Prayers) .
The Pounding of the Rice stems from
Buddhist mythology about a female giant who
can predict the weather. Farmers honor her power each year. The Full Moon Prayers are
dedicated to the power of a rabbit that took its own life in a fire to serve as food for a god who
visited Earth as an emaciated old man. According to Khmer mythology, the rabbit symbolizes
fidelity, justice, and honesty . Many celebrants say they can see its form traced in the full moon
by the god . As night falls and the full moon rises, showers of fireworks light up the sky,
exploding with booms and pops that mix with cheers of awe and joy . Enormous balloons are
�"fed to the moon" and a flotilla of "fairy boats" outlined by lights slips gracefully through the
dusk.
At midnight, flatted rice, called ambok, bananas and coconut juice are offered to the
moon, which returns the thanks with a bright smile from heaven. In a Buddhist ceremony, a
line of candles is gingerly rotated three times on a rod: their falling wax reveals the future.
The Phnom Penh festival' is the largest, with more than one million people crowding the
banks of the capital's riverfront, but the Siemreap celebration is growing in popularity. Celebrated in the early 1960s at Angkor Wat, presided over by King Norodom Sihanouk, the
festival was revived at the temple in 1994, with fishing boats racing. Two years later the boats
were replaced by special, smaller versions of classic longboats. The Siemreap festival offers
spectators the splendid sight of racers competing as dusk falls while the setting sun transforms
the towers of Angkor Wat to radiant spires-as cicadas and birds hum in the forests.
The Water Festival commemorates an era when naval forces fought for control of a land
dominated by water, dating as far back as the Funan era (3 rd to 6th century). King Jayavarman
VII hailed his armada's victory over a Cham fleet in 1181, a battle vividly depicted on wall
carvings at the Banteay Chmar temple in Banteay Meanchey provinces and Bayon temple in
Siemreap. During the 16 th century, King Ang Chan I moved the capital to Lovek in southern
Cambodia.
Today, these and other victories are reenacted in the races. The first round-with seated
owers-represents the elite forces who were sent into battle first, and are followed by the
anding rowers, the second wave of any sea-born attack: all storming towards victory.
The sight of 300 boats gathering at the golden pavilion on the Tonie Sap is the festival's
ax. You will feel the glory of the festival in your heart-still beating quickly to the pace of
: drummers.

�The Tradition of Water Festival Boat Building
(Reprinted from Cambodia: The Legend Comes to Life)
When Chang 'hann Hoy broke into two pieces, people thought it was because the rowers were too
strong. They said the rowers paddled the long, sleek racing boat so fast it just split apart- the bow end
sped away from the stern, leaving one half in Siemreap and the other half far down river in Kompong
Chhnang.
Fast it was. Chang' hann Hoy was so named after it brought food from Kompong Chhnang to monks
at Angkor Wat 150 kilometers up the Tonie Sap river. And the food-chang ' hann-was still hoy- hot!
And the boat was fast because the rowers were strong and rowed with great speed, so the story goes.
But Monh Sok knows that the rowers weren't the reason why the legendary long boat split in half.
Sok, a 51 year-old boat builder from SiemReap, knows Hot Food broke apart because it was built so
..
well-built according to the ancient formula devel1 ~ oped centuries ago to make the war boats of the
. • ..
. ancient Angkor empire.
Built for speed, and Hot Food was built so well,
so sleek, so fast, it just raced away from itself.
Surely, the ancient formula makes fast boatsones so sleek, graceful and brightly colored. It is this
ancient formula that produces the boats that every
November fill the Tonie Sap at Phnom Penh and moat
at Angkor Wat in Seimreap for the Water Festival
races, Cambodia's grandest celebration.
Monh Sok says the key to the formula is an
ancient rule: "Kor romaing, bath kantaing, kantuy
.. puos kray"-"the neck of a fallow deer, the bottom of
a basket, the tail of snake named kray." The formula
works like this: The deer's neck is handsomely round.
The bottom of a basket is roughly flat. The Kray
snake's tail is smaller, "like chicken's chest," Sok
says.
The chief workman recites this formula and tells
his workers to carve their boat accordingly- neck of
fallow deer curving gracefully up at the bow, basket
flatness shaping the hull's bottom, thin snake tail
sweeping back from the stem. "If the tail is too big,
the boat will leap," Sok says. The boat builders rush
from stem to stem, and then pull themselves away to see the sides of the long craft to make sure that the
rule has been complied with properly.
The boat is made. You have to entirely answer the requirements of the ancient formula. But what
happens if you use koki thmar wood to make this boat? It will sink, of course. According to the veteran
wh
�boat maker, it is not enough just to follow the rule- the workmen must also select the best quality wood.
They should use the nom1al koki tree, not koki teuk, pchek neung dei"- "koki and water; Pch ek and
earth." But koki is expensive, because it can last hundreds of years- and sometimes hard to find . If the
boat makers cannot afford the best, they should choose another high quality wood, maintaining the strictest
traditions, and thus, produce the best boats. These provinces have also produced many victorious crews.
Building, painting, naming, ra<>ing, and funding the boats-which can cost over $2,000-all of these
things involve a great commitment by communities. The boat usually represents a Wat where it is stored in
a place of honor during the year-revered with incense, flowers and offerings- under an open-air rooftop
which respects the spirit guardian of the vessel. Whole villages typically accompany the boat to the Water
Festival to cheer it on with great pride and honor.
The full-sized racing boat is 20 to 25 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. It carries 40 rowers or more,
plus a helmsman and perhaps a dancer or musician who keeps the rhythm at the bow. Because the moat
around Angkor Wat is much smaller than the Tonie Sap or Mekong river, the boats that race at Siernreap
are smaller, only 13 to 18 meters long.
Normally, five to ten people build a boat. Producing a finished vessel caulked with a special mixture
of resins and chopped hemp sack, can take five months or more. Strict rules and spirits influence the
u
aming process which is done under consultation with elders and monks; and it is not uncommon for a
·ame to be born of a dream. "Olden Garuda", "Tiger Descending the Mountain", "Powerful White
/oman", "Powerful Black Woman", and "Magic-eyed Woman": many of the names resonate the female
1 of the vessel.
irit
The building of a boat is accompanied by ceremonies at each stage- entering the forest, cutting down
: tree, and starting the carving. The biggest ceremony is reserved for when the boat is launched for the
·t time.
The ceremony commemorates the spirits of the Naga king and Neang Hing, who preserves the water
Iland. Bananas and decorated coconuts are placed before the boat, five candles are lit, along with
:nse sticks, and traditional music is played. And the monks bestow their blessings.
It is at this time that the final and most significant feature is put in place: the eyes. For it is the eyes,
ch awake the boat's spirit and give life to the racers.
,,,, , Making a racing boat, says Sok, who has
{ -" been a boat builder since the age of 18,
H
takes a lot of thought, patience and work.
But look at the sleek boats as they race past
you on the river or the moat- look at the
high deer neck at the bow and the snake 's
tail at the stem, see the eyes that embody
the spirit, and the light flashing off 40
paddles, listen to the beat of the rhythm,
you will know the work was well done.
Far Left: The hull 's bottom is carefully shaped like the
boltom of a basket. Left: The boat is painted with
colors carefully chosen by village elders and monks.

INCORPORATORS
Welcome to the 10th Annual Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival. We hope
that you enjoy the variety of Southeast Asian food, merchandise, performances,
and arts and crafts that you will encounter throughout our two-day celebration.
The Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival was initiated in the summer of 199y
by a number of community members, including but not limited to Mr. Samkhann
Khoeun - former Executive Director of the Cambodian Mutual Assistance
Association, Dr. Linda Silka - Director of the UMass Lowell Center for Work,
Family and Community, Chath pierSath - Community Activist, Blong Xiong Lao Family Mutual Assistance Association, and Cheryl West and Khan Chau of
the University of Massachusetts, Lowell campus, among others. Their concern
had been the environmental cleanliness of the Merrimack River as well as
surrounding bodies of freshwater.
With the intention of bringing a thousand year old tradition from Cambodia,
Laos, and Thailand and tying it to water education here in the Greater Lowell
area, the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival was begun and has
progressed to what it is today. As a result, approximately 60,000 participants
are drawn to this event annually, with attendees coming from all walks of life
and ethnicities throughout the United States, Canada, France, and Australia.
Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival,
(CMAA) a special water education section has been included in the program book.
While the entire event is revolved around boat racing, we also feel that it is vital
to teach young children on the importance of clean water in our everyday lives.
Light of Cambodian Children, Inc. (LCC) After all, without4t1e water in both the Mekong River and the Merrimack River,
we wouldn't have been able to begin this unique tradition.
Lao Family Mutual Association (LFMA)
Wat Buddhabhavana of MA
Organizing the Water Festival is a big endeavor. It takes many volunteer hours,
Thai Association of Boston ongoing year-round effort, and dedicated board and committee members. To
join in the effort to support this important annual event, please consider making

'Vater and Our Lives
/ritten by Sopha Tum
\later is life. To people from different background and religions, it embodies birth and
~birth . To the Southeast Asian people, water not only signifies renewal, but it
ymbolizes cleanliness, purity, and prosperity. For Southeast Asians, water connects
II aspects of being: food, agriculture, spirituality, and economic success. Whether it is
nown as Bon Om Tuk in Cambodia, Boun Son Hae in Loas, or Keng Loeur in
hailand, for centuries the Water Festival has been an annual celebration of cleansing
nd rinsing past sins accrued during the old year to replenish for the new year.
The Water Festival is the most popular and
strident celebration in Southeast Asia.
Millions of people from remote areas of the
countries journey to the capitals to compete
in the boat races, cheer for their favorite
teams, and participate in the singing,
dancing, and traditional games. Every year, they put thoughts of work or struggle
aside to be thankful for the rivers, lakes, and ponds that are the main source of their
livelihood and economic development and pray for good fortune, longevity, and the
opportunity to regenerate.
For Southeast Asians, whether this important and fun-filled festivity takes place in their
1other countries or the countries they now call home, it is essential for them to preserve their tradition , take time to celebrate
ie event, and share and teach younger generations of Southeast Asians and people from different cultures and background of
1ho they are, and their values and beliefs.
ach~
r, on the third Saturday in August, Cambodians and other Southeast Asians come together to Lowell, Massachusetts
the Southeast Asian Water Festival along the Merrimack River and reminisce about life along the Mekong River.
ike the Water Festival in Southeast Asia, the Water Festival in Lowell is a time for Southeast Asians living abroad to take some
me to be thankful of all their good fortunes, pray for better living conditions for people
ack home, and allow people from other cultures to experience a part of their tradition,
nd learn what makes them who they are. After all, water is life to many of us.
> celebrate
he Water Festival is a time for fun, relaxation , and self-renewal, but it is also a time
collectively work together to help keep the water clean and safe for future
enerations and enable them to continue the beautiful tradition that has been past
own from our ancestors.
>
"Hanuman" is the popular White Monkey
General from the Indian epic the
Ramayana , now adapted into many
Southeast Asian versions.

"Tevet Dance" - Somaly Hay & Co.
The Tevet Dance is an ancient dance that depicts the majestic and graceful performance of the
God and Goddess in a blessing wish to be bestowed upon the royal family. This dance is
obtained through the ancient legend of Preah Sang. Despite its gracious, delicate, and beautiful
choreography as well as lyric and song, the Tevet Dance is a lesser known type of classical
dance in the royal ballet than others.
Laos Classical Dance - Tamara Phongsavad
"Chouy Chhay Tevoda (Goddess) Dance" - Somaly Hay & Co
"Lum Muay and Lum Essan" - Wat Thai of Boston
"Girls in Line Dance" - Somaly Hay & Co
The dance, revealed by the lyrics, describes the beauty of Khmer dance and culture as well as
the gratitude toward our ancestors, who have carefully preserved and handed down to us this
priceless legacy.
Khmer Flute - Rady Mom
"Tang You Dance" - Somaly Hay & Co
In Cambodia the climate is very warm, with only two seasons, the wet season and the dry
season. All year round, the weather is very war,t,, with the temperature mostly in the high
nineties to low 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefbre, young girls like to use umbrellas called ''Tang
You" to protect themselves from the heated sun.
Blessing of the Canal and Preparation for Candle Floating Ceremony (Loy Krathong)
The Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival preserves the most important religious and cultural
traditional ritual-the candlelight ceremony, in celebrating water. Water symbolizes the gateway
to a happy and healthy life. Similar to the candlelight ceremonies held in most Southeast Asian
countries, after dusk monks bless the temple grounds while the community thanks the river
spirits. Shortly after the blessing, the monks and the people gather around the edge of the water
to pray and mak<; vows. As candlelight rafts drift down the river and bum into the darkness, the
burning of the candles signifies the dismissal of bad luck, disease, and bad deeds.

Old Crane and Brother Crab
In the middle of the forest, there was a pond that Old Crane inhabited as I
home. One day, Old Crane was too weak to go searching for food. He ac1
very worried so that everyone can see.
Brother Crab who was nearby noticed Old Crane looking desolate so he ask
him, "Why are you so sad looking, Big Brother? Why don't you go look
food?"
Old Crane laments, "Oh, Brothers and Sisters! The fish in this pond had be
my food source! But I had overheard some humans talking with each other about a fisherman who will soon caall the fish here! If there is to be no more fish here, then my death is near approaching! That is why I ,
worried ... too worried to think about my hunger!"
All the fish discussed among themselves and decided that Old Crane
might have some ideas to help them. "Oh, Brother Crane," all the fish
called out, "Do you have any plans to help all of us?"
Old Crane tells them, "The only way of keeping all of you safe is to get
you to another body of water. I can bring you to a pond nearby one at a
time. I have seen that pond. There are not that many humans there."
AJI of the fish were very happy with that plan and agreed to have Old
Crane transport them to another pond. One by one, Old Crane carried
the fish out of the pond and one by one, he ate them all before returning.
Once all of the fish were gone from the pond, there was only Brother Crab left who asked Old Crane, "Oh Brotl
Crane, please bring me to that pond as well. I want to go live with the rest of the fish."
Old Crane was ecstatic that Brother Crab wanted to go with him ... he had never eaten crab meat before! So he t
Brother Crab hang onto his neck while he flew him towards a mound of land. But Brother Crab was very atten1
and, while in the air, noticed fish bones scattered all over the place. "Huh! Am I coming so soon into my death?"
thought to himself. "No, I must find a way of saving myself!"
When Old Crane and Brother Crab were only a few feet from landing, Brother Crab took his claws and squee,
Old Crane's neck until Old Crane was no longer breathing. And that was the end of Old Crane's life. Brother C
had to find another place where he can continue his life. But upon finding no other pond nearby, he went bacl
the direction he came from and luckily found his old home. From then on, Brother Crab passed down his true st
about not trusting old cranes to the fish in the pond and he lived a long, happy life.

�MISSION STATEMENT
The Southeast Asian Digital Archive seeks to collect, preserve,
and share historical materials related to Southeast Asians in the
Greater Lowell area, with particular focus on refugee resettlement
and community building from the 1970s to the present. Our goal
is to highlight Southeast Asian voices and viewpoints, and to
educate the public about the resilience and diversity of Southeast
Asian Americans.
At SEADA, we believe that it is important to preserve the
histories of Southeast Asian communities in their own voices. By
collecting, preserving, and sharing these stories, SEADA seeks to
contribute to the understanding of Southeast Asians in the US.

Performance of “Sophileak” by Angkor Dance Troupe
Channa Sath as Sophileak (Female Deity)
Virginia Prak as Preah (Prince) Aunaruth
This story is about 2 lovers -- Princess Osa and Prince Aunaruth -- who
were separated by the gods. Sophileak, a female deity who took pity on
Princess Osa, went in search of Osa’s lover. She returned with portraits of
many princes she had encountered, but none of them were the right one.
The princess gave Sophileak her ring and scarf to continue on her search.
In this scene, Sophileak finally finds Aunaruth, who recognizes the perfume
on the scarf. Later, Sophileak will reunite the lovers.

Water Festivals in Southeast Asia
Written by Sarann Nuon and Sophy Theam
For many centuries in Southeast Asia, the Water
Festival is an annual event celebrating the connection of
water in all aspects of life - food, agriculture,
spirituality and economic prosperity.
Although held at different parts of the year in different
countries, water has always represented life and
goodness to the peoples of Southeast Asia.
For instance, in Cambodia, the Water Festival begins on
the first full moon at the end of October or November,
at the time when the Mekong River reverses direction
after filling up the Tonie Sap, the country's "Great
Lake". When this phenomenon occurs, the downstream
flow leaves behind an abundance of fish, marking a
time for celebration and festivities. This includes the
influx of over a million people from the countryside
into the capital of Phnom Penh to witness the three-day
boat racing event in which over 400 teams rowing 5070 feet long boats compete.
In Thailand, the Water Festival is celebrated within the
"Songkran" or the traditional Thai New Year. Just as in
the countries of Cambodia and Laos, the New Year is
celebrated from April 12th through the 15 th . However,
in Thailand, the celebration of Water is also
incorporated into the festivities as it is believed water
will wash away bad luck and bring in good luck for the
incoming year. Therefore there are a lot of water
throwing aimed at everyone. And unlike Cambodia, the capital city pretty much empties of people as residents travel to their hometowns in
the countryside to be with their relatives and close friends. Major celebrations take place in cities such as Chiang Mai and Sukhothai where
traditional festivities are maintained.
And in Laos where although there is water throwing during the New Year in mid-April, their Water Festival, known as "Bun Nam" and
more similar to Cambodia's "Bon Om Touk" is held around October also with boat racing ceremonies in riverside towns and cities such as
Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and Savannakhet. Much smaller towns may hold their boat races on National Day which is on December 2nd .
Back here in the United States where many have now called "home", the celebration of water continues in the Lowell Southeast Asian Water
Festival. Now in its Ninth year, the event draws 50,000 - 60,000 people from all walks oflife to the banks of the Merrimac River. Flocking
from around the nation as well from Canada, France, and even Australia, the festival is a time to meet friends and acquaintances, enjoy all
sorts of ethnic foods reminiscent of the street vendors in the markets back home, and experience a fusion of ethnic performances and
activities including boat racing on the 50 -70 feet long boats that have been seen dotting the Mekong River for centuries. Water is the
celebration of life. Water is Life!

Park will once again
provide free boat tours on
the Merrimac River!
Pick up your free Boat

opportunity for some of
the festival goers to get
out on the water without
being in one of the racing
boats.
Tour guides will explain
how the canals were used
for transportation and
industry. Therefore the
tour will be a fun ride and
educational too!

Cambodian and other ethnic minorities here in Greater Lowell. The CMM offers
many important programs such as ESL courses, job training, youth programs, and
cultural events. These programs have proven to be invaluable tools for a community
comprised of refugees from war torn countries struggling to survive here in America.

Translated by Sophy Theam from "Khmer Folk Tales: Part 1"
Published by the Buddhist Institute, Phnom Penh, Cambodia . 1959.
There was a man with four sons who learned to
master four different skills. Son Number One knows how to
eat well . Son Number Two knows how to sleep well. Son
Number Three knows how the law well. And Son Number
Four knows his way around women very well. The father
brings his sons to meet the king, informing his royal highness
each of his son's capabilities. The king agrees to keep the
man's sons in his palace.
One day the king wanted to test the son who could
eat well by having him eat a large number of dishes prepared
by the palace cooks. Son Number One does as he was
asked until he got to a soup in which the king had put a
fingernail scoopful of uncooked water. The king asks him,
"'Mly did you not eat that soup?" And the young man
responds, "That soup has a fingernail scoopful of uncooked
water. That's why I did not eat it." The king then thinks to
himself, "That young man really knows how to eat well!"
The king then tests the son who could sleep well.
He had his servants prepare a clean room with a nice
mattress and decorative sheets.
When the room was
prepared, the king places one strand of hair under the sheets.
And when night came, the king summons Son Number Two
to go sleep on that bed. The young man lies on the mattress
and immediately gets off the bed. The king asks him, "How
come you laid down on the bed and suddenly got back off?"
The young man tells the king, "Your majesty, there was a
strand of hair under the sheets that made me get off of the
bed." The king thinks to himself, "That young man really
knows how to sleep well!"
There was one day when a man in the kingdom had
died in an open field with no signs of beating or scarring of
any kind. The king orders the courts to investigate the
reason behind this death, but the courts did not come to a
conclusion . His Majesty the King then remembers of Son
Number Three who was well versed in the law. He asks the
young man to look into the matter of the death and find out
what exactly happened.
The young man then asks
permission to have full authority while he was conducting this
investigation, which the king grants. He then sets out to the
place where the deceased man lay and calls for a meeting
with all the townspeople . The man warns the villagers,
"Tomorrow, do not go anywhere outside of your own village.
I want everyone to attend the funeral of this deceased man
who had died in the middle of the rice fields. Everyone, with
the exception of the blind and the handicapped, must be
there ."
During the cremation of the dead body, while the
flames were burning at its highest point, a young woman was
crying nonstop. The young man notices her and takes her
aside for questioning. After a long while, the young woman
finally gives up and tells the young man the truth. "I was with
that man for the very first time the night he died . When he
died, no one had beat him or anything like that. Just before
we went to bed, he had asked me to get him some water to
drink. I did not go out of my room because I was afraid my
parents might know about us. So I took a silver bowl and
held it outside my window to catch the rainwater that was
coming down our grass roof. After he drank that water, he
died." 'Mien the young woman finished her story, the young
man thinks to himself, 'This young woman did not have any ill
intent towards that man because they had just been together
that night. Dying in that manner, there must be some
poisonous animal on top of that roof."

After the funeral, the young man then goes to the
young woman's house and climbs to the top of the roof. And
sure enough, there was a King Cobra coiled right on top of
the woman's bedroom. He beats the cobra with a club and
brings it to the king. "The reason that man died without any
bruises or scarring is because he had drunk rainwater
poisoned by this cobra's venom. And this young woman had
offered the water to the man unknowingly." The king then
praises the young man to himself, "This Young Man really
knows how to investigate well."
Shortly thereafter, a rich man in the kingdom passes
away, leaving a beautiful young wife behind. This young wife
was resolute in not taking another husband. Upon hearing
about her, the king commands all of the ministers of the
palace to try to court her into marrying one of them. But no
one succeeds. The king then thinks, "It must be true then
that this young widower will not want another husband. But
maybe it is because the level of the ministers is too low for
her. Perhaps I can win her over." The king then offers a visit
to the widower's house and tells her from the ground,
"Tonight, I will be joining you. Please prepare your house for
me."
That evening, the widower prepares the bed for the
king, and dresses up a maid to be with the king as if she were
the widower.
When the king arrives, he inspects the
bedroom and satisfied, says to himself, "This must be the
room of the widower's. That's why no one dares to enter
here." He goes to the bed where the maid was sleeping and
hugs her, saying, "I have won over you!" As proof of his
victory, he lightly bit one of her cheeks and left the woman to
go back to his palace.
He sent a messenger to summon the widower to the
palace the next morning. The next morning came, and after
telling the ministers to look out for the bite mark on the cheek,
the widower and her maid entered the main chamber of the
palace. The maid sat just behind the widower. The king's
messenger had been ordered to look for the mark on the
widower, but he found none on the beautiful woman who was
sitting in the front. He informs the king, "There was a bite
mark on the woman that was sitting in the back, but I saw no
sign of your mark on the widower." The king then blames
himself for being so reckless as to not inspect the woman he

After being married to the woman for three or four days, the
Young Man brings his new wife to the palace for all to see. This
time, both the king and the ministers praised him. "This Young
Man does indeed know how to win over a woman!"

successfully court the rich man's widower? If you need anything,
let me know. I will give you anything you need to assist you." The
Young Man answers back, "Your Highness, I will not need any
valuable possessions to help me. I just would like an old white
fabric to wear and a pot of cow bones that I can carry with me
always."
After leaving the palace, the Widower prepares her
deceased husband's funeral at the temple. When the body was
fully cremated, she collects his ashes, puts them in an urn and
displays them for all to see and pray for. The Young Man, clothed
only in old, faded white fabric arrives at the temple where the
funeral was taking place. He then begins wailing in sorrow about
his deceased wife, whose bones are always with him.
The Widower's funeral guests are startled to hear the
man sobbing like a child, They ask him, "Why are you in so much
sorrow?" The Young Man replies to the caretaker of the temple,
"When I see the funeral of the Rich Man, it makes me think of the
death of my dear wife who died so horribly and painfully. It
reminds me of my separation with my lovely wife. I have died with
my wife a long time ago, leaving everything I have except for her
bones, wandering around everywhere in sadness." The Young
Man then asks the Caretaker if he can spend the night on the
temple grounds. The Caretaker tells him that he cannot grant him
permission because the Widower is the owner of the grounds and
he would have to ask her first.
After listening to the story of the sorrowful man, the
Widower agrees to let him sleep for the night and even has her
servants prepare food for him. That evening, the Widower stays
at the temple until the prayers are finished while the Young Man
pretends to be asleep. After the prayers, the Widower goes back
to her house. Seeing this as an opportune time, the Young Man
takes his "wife's bones" and lays them next to the ashes of the
Rich Man,
The next morning, the Widower comes back to the
temple to see the Young Man sob endlessly. "Someone has
stolen my wife's bones! Who has taken my wife's bones?
Someone has stolen my wife!" The Widower approaches the
Young Man and asks him, "What is the matter?" The Young Man
replies, "Someone has stolen my wife! Your dead husband must
Feeling a pang of
have stolen my wife away from me!"
disappointment that her dead husband may have stolen the
Young Man's wife, the Widower leads the Young Man to the main
temple where her husband's ashes were, and sure enough the
urn of her husband's ashes and the bones of the Young Man's
wife were right next to each other!
Upon seeing that, the Young Man says to the Widower,
"You see, your dead husband HAS taken my wife as his own!
The only fair thing is for me is to take you as my wife in return!"
Being unable to get herself out of this situation, and also feeling
disappointed that her dead husband was not gentlemanly enough
to think about the sorrow his own living wife was going through, in
addition to witnessing her husband taking someone else's wife
right in front of her, the Widower agreed to become the Young
Man's wife as Revenge ,

LOY KRA TONG - "Festival of Light"
On the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month (November), the tide in the rivers is highest and the moon at its brightest,
creating a romantic setting ideal for lovers. The Thai people choose this day to hold the 'Loy Kratong' festival, or the 'festival of
light.' Loy Kratong is one of the two most recognized festivals in the country.
Loy Kratong is probably the most picturesque and beautiful of all Thai celebrations. 'Loy' literally means 'to float,' while 'kratong'
refers to the lotus-shaped receptacle which can float on the water. Originally, the kratong was made of banana leaves or the
layers of the trunk of a banana tree or a spider lily plant. A kratong contains food, betel nuts, flowers, joss sticks, candle and
coins. The making of a kratong is much more creative these days as many more materials are available.
The Loy Kratong ritual is a simple one. One needs only to light the candles and the joss sticks, make one's wishes and let it
float away with the current of a river or a canal. On that day, thousands of people will gather beside the canals and rivers. With
kratong in hands, they light the candle, put some coins in the kratong and silently make a wish, and carefully place their
kratongs in the water and release them to the current. They watch intently as the float drifts silently downstream, hoping that
the candle will not go out. Its flame is said to signify longevity, fulfillment of wishes and release from sins. Altogether it is
considered a romantic night for couples or lovers. Couples who make a wish together on Loy Kratong are thought to stay
together in the future.
Origins
Different legends surround the origins of Loy Kratong. The most popular version is it was an expression of gratitude to the
goddess of water 'Phra Mae Kongka' for having extensively used, and sometimes polluted, the water from the rivers and canals.
It is also in part a thanksgiving for her bounty in providing water for the livelihood of the people.
Some believe the festival originates from Buddhism. They say the offering of flowers, candles and joss-sticks is a tribute of
respect to the footprint of the Lord Buddha on the sandy beach of the Narmaha River in India, as well as to the great Serpent
and dwellers of the underwater world, after the Lord Buddha's visit to their watery realm. It is possible that this is derived from a
Hindu festival that pays tribute to the god Vishnu, who meditates at the center of the ocean.
Others believe that the floral kratong is offered to the pagoda containing the Lord Buddha's topknot, which was cut off at his
self-ordination and is now in heaven. Another explanation is that it is a way to pay respect to one's ancestors.
Whatever the true origin, the practice of Loy Kratong first began in the ancient kingdom of Sukhothai in
the 13th century. A young queen named Nang Noppamas was believed to be the one who made a
small boat laden with candles and incense and floated it down the river. The name Nang Noppamas
has been associated with Loy Kratong ever since.
Today, Loy Kratong offers a unique occasion to celebrate. It is a good time for people to make wishes
and look to the future as they float their floral offerings along the waterways.
*Special thanks to Wat Buddhabhavana for making all of the candle floats once again for this
year's "Candle Float Ceremony" to be held on Friday, August 19t\ at the Lower Locks canal
located off of the Middlesex Community College Campus.

Navigating SEADA Digital Collections
Part 1. What is the Southeast Asian Digital Archive (SEADA)?
Part 2: How to navigate to the SEADA digital collections in Omeka.
Part 3: What is an item?
Part 4: Omeka Search Directions
Part 5: Sample Keyword List
Part 1. What is the Southeast Asian Digital Archive (SEADA)?
The UMass Lowell Southeast Asian Digital Archive (SEADA) is a community-centered
archive of cultural heritage materials from Southeast Asian American communities in the
greater Lowell, Mass., region.
SEADA seeks to collect, preserve, and share historical materials related to Southeast
Asians in the Greater Lowell area, with particular focus on refugee resettlement and community
building from the 1970s to the present.
Select SEADA collections are digital and freely accessible through: www.uml.edu/seada.
Part 2: How to navigate to the SEADA digital collections in Omeka.
Entering www.uml.edu/seada into your computer browser will bring you the SEADA
homepage with links to various Southeast Asian American resources.
To access SEADA digital collections, click on one of the options circled in red shown below.
Note: Links underlined in blue on the left hand column will take you to other resources
that may be useful to your work.
1
�When you arrive to the SEADA Omeka site you will have two ways to browse materials,
through “Browse Items” and “Browse Collections.”
2
�Part 3: What is an item?
An item is made of two pieces:
1. An image or PDF
2. Information about the image or PDF
It is possible for you to
download an image or PDF.
Any color text other than black on your
screen is clickable and will take you to other
items using the same text in the same field.
Part 4: Omeka Search Directions
The best way to search the SEADA Omeka site is by using the basic search bar in the upper
right hand area of the window. You may have to click on the magnifying glass illustration to
open the search bar.
The first set of options allows you to select a query type:
Keyword, or general search (recommended);
Boolean, in which you can add boolean operators like AND and NOT;
Exact match, which will only find exact matches to the word or phrase you enter.
3
�The second set of options are a series of check boxes for content to include in the search. The
options chosen may be:
Item
File
Collection
as well as options, if they exist, such as:
Simple Page (SEADA Omeka pages that do not include items, files, or collections)
Search Steps:
1. Choose your query type.
2. Choose the options available to search.
3. Type the keyword(s) you want to search for in the field available.
4. Click "Enter" on your keyboard or click the search magnifying glass button on your
screen.
These directions are from Omeka.org and have been adapted for this handout. For more
information on search directions as well as advance search techniques, log onto:
https://omeka.org/classic/docs/GettingStarted/Searching/
Part 5: Sample Keyword List
The following keywords are used or appear in the materials in the SEADA Omeka site. Choose
a keyword from this list, or think of your own keyword, and as you try searching for materials.

HISTORY OF WATER FESTIVAL
The Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival is dedicated to the
preservation, protection and sharing of the cultural heritages
of the Southeast Asian communities in Lowell, Massachusetts.
In recent years, it has begun to encompass other emerging
Southeast Asian groups inside and outside of Lowell as well.
Every third Saturday in August, approximately 30,000-40,000
people from around the world travel to Lowell to
celebrate water as it is celebrated in Southeast Asia. They
come for the blessings, food, crafts, performances and the
competitive boat races.
In 1997, the first Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival
celebrated the culture of Lowell's many Cambodian citizens. In
2002, the festival began to encompass many other Southeast
Asian communities as well. Representatives of Lowell's
Cambodian, Thai, Vietnamese and Laotian communities are
now incorporated into the Lowell Southeast Asian Water
Festival. In the past few years, more Southeast Asian cultures
have been included as well.

�~plleial PrllS\Zntation of
Cambodian 'Rllf US\Zll Polltry d3ook & ~mot
The
political
and
military whims of the
superpowers fractured
the gentle land of
Cambodia,
ultimately
claiming the lives of
one-fourth
of
the
population in one of the
worst genocides of the
twentieth
century.
These
tragic stories
have
made
the
dangerous journey from
the Killing Fields of
Cambodia, to the makeshift shelters along the Cambodian-Thai border, to the
Refugee Holding Centers in Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, and finally to
communities in countries around the world, where traumatized Cambodian
refugees resettled , seeking freedom and opportunity. The poems were handwritten by the late Venerable Ly Van , who was a survivor of the Cambodian
holocaust and a refugee himself. They are beautifully written , poignant, and
filled with richness of Cambodian culture and history. "O! Maha Mount 'Vangrek:
Poetry of Cambodian 'R.ef ugee experiences" book is a testament to the hardship and
ugliness of war, as well as to the resilience of the survivors who have struggled for
the past thirty years to find peace in their hearts, justice for those lost, and
healing for the Cambodian survivors and refugees themselves.
Special book signing by editor/publisher, Samkhann C. Khoeun , along with special
presentation by two
Cambodian artists,
Ms. Srey Peov
Phoeun and Mr.
Sinat Nhek will be
held on Friday, April
9, 2010 from 6:15
pm at Sompov Meas
Hall in Lowell,
Massachusetts.

Graduating Into the Wider World

In auditoriums, courtyards and
on street corners, young graduates in their black robes show
their exuberant joy at having
stepped into the next phase of
their lives.
This graduation season
got us thinking. How does learning the delicate hand gestures of
the Apsara dance prepare a person for the rest of their life?
How does mastery of the rollicking rhythms of the coconut dance
help with mastering the art of
making a living?

We asked people in
their early 20s who had danced
with the Troupe for a number of
years to reflect on how their
time with the Troupe shaped
who they are now. Here is what
one of them said:
Troupe. I am now the Di rector
of Youth Development for the
Lowell Community Health Center. I'm also the Assistant Program Director for Angkor Dance
Troupe. And I am attending full
time graduate school at the
Springfield College School of
Human Services in Boston, studying for a Master of Science in
Human Services.
Old Traditions and New
Technologies prepare Angkor dancers like Linda Sou
for their futures
" I am Sopheap (Linda) Sou.
I'm
24 years of age, 20 of which I
spent with the Angkor Dance
My time with the
Troupe shaped me by supporting
my leadership in both fields . The
dance discipline has taught me
dedication and commitment to
what is near to my heart - culture, dance and community organizing. I am very pleased with
where I am in my life. I would
like to continue the work that I
am doing.

Rapt faces followed every gesture made by Monica Veth, as
the crowd of over 600 middle
schoolers sat unusually still and
silent, absorbing the graceful
demonstration of Cambodian
dance. Linda Sou spoke with
quiet authority and humor about
dance, how it is learned and her
own experiences as a child, as
she gradually came to master
over I 500 of the 5000 gestures
that make up Cambodian classical
dance.
This compelling workshop was
part of a joint endeavor between
Angkor Dance Troupe and the
middle schools of Lowell, facilitated by a $10,000 grant from
the National Endowment for the
Arts.
More than 2,000 students were
treated to a lesson in Cambodian
culture and a classical or monkey
dance performance by the
Troupe in the spring of 2008.
All students completed a questionnaire about their experience
- I00% positive! - and about 25%
expressed an interest in learning
Cambodian dance. Fifteen students in the Fine Arts Academy
at Lowell High School participated in a 5-day residency where
they learned the history of Cambodia and Cambodian dance.

The Mekong-Merrimack bridge

many kinds of distances, not
only geographical.
The partners that
put on the Cambodian rockopera Where Elephants Weep
in Lowell last year met this
June for the one-year anniversary of that event. The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the opera shocked
even its producers, who
watched the Lowell High
School auditorium fill up night
after night with people from
many parts of New England
and many walks of life.
A year later, at Tep
Thida restaurant on Chelmsford Street, producers, actors,
dancers, and others met to
revisit the wonder of last
year's collaboration, and to
talk about the future. The
Cambodian Arts Alliance unveiled a program of cultural
production goals for the next
three years.
Angkor
Dance
Troupe is delighted to play a
pivotal role in continuing artistic creation, across the Mekong-Merrimack bridge. We
are instrumental in commissioning a new work, the Apsara
Dancing Stones, a dance-drama
that brings the Apsara figure
out of the ancient Cambodian
past, and into the light of our
own time. This new work
shows her relevance today as
an icon that embodies peace
and beauty, harmony between
opposing forces and a respect
for the forces of nature and
humanity alike. We look forward to sharing this creative
process with many of last
year's partners and with new
artists and supporters along
the way.

Parents and Friends Learn Ancient Costuming Techniques
...
This spring, parents and friends of
the Troupe took part in our firstever workshops on Cambodian
cloth and costuming techniques.
Knowledgeable instructors, led by
Phousita Huy, rolled and squeezed
the cloth into the shapes that make
up the k'ben, one of the basic elements of the dance costume.
Parents and friends also
learned about different grades of
silk, how to care for the cloth, and
the kinds of performances associated with certain silks and patterns.
In another workshop, our presenters showed many examples of traditional Cambodian clothing and
spoke about cultural meanings of
certain colors and fashions.
Our participants
deepened their knowledge of
Cambodian culture and
spruced up their appearance
at the Cambodian New Year festivities. See page 2 for our next workshop series - this one on Cambodian cuisine. What better way to
bring your family closer to what is
beautiful (and delicious) in Cambodian culture?

April 27th-29th, not in any of
those global cities but rather in
Lowell.
An extensive team
worked for over a year to stage
the production at Lowell High
School. Angkor Dance Troupe
was a vital part of bringing this
show to Lowell , and to the thousands of people who saw it.
For those Lowell residents of
Cambodian heritage the opera
was particularly poignant.
It
melded old and new art forms, it
told the story of suffering and
survival
that so
m a n y
h a v e
experienced,
and
it
offered
an examA scene from Elephants
pie of new life, in the form of this
artistic production.
Angkor
Dance Troupe trained performers in classical dance techniques,
and worked with musicians from
Cambodia and the US.
Four
Troupe dancers performed in the
show.
Phousita Huy led the
Troupe's dancers. Her deeply
moving performance reminded
the Troupe of why she is so
valuable to us; Ms. Huy's dancing
mixed immense reserves of innate talent and grace with skill
born of discipline and training.
Peter Veth , Monica
Veth and Sophy Leng joined Ms.
Huy onstage. Monica Veth of
Angkor Dance, said of "usually
we dance to traditional music.
Now we had to dance to music
for the opera. The most memorable moment for me was the
speech that Mr. Burt made backstage, before the play, using such
nice words. I became very emotional." Sophy Leng said, "We
were the only four dancers.
Everyone eise was acting or rapping. The day of the show, before it started, we were preparing, getting dressed. The traditional Khmae band was setting up
their instruments. We did a
quick blessing ceremony. We
knelt with our hands in a praying
position and prayed that the
opera would go well. The incense was burning-it was a
special moment.
I loved the
feeling, and I hope that others
can have this experience too."
After 21 Years, An Endowment
On October 31st, 2007, a dream
came true:
Angkor Dance
Toupe established an endowment with the Greater Lowell
Community Foundation. Thanks
to generous and timely donations
by our friends and supporters,
the Troupe was able to meet the
$5,000 minimum required by the
Foundation to qualify for an additional $2,500 match .
An Endowment is a
fund that will last as long as the
Troupe does, and will pay the
Troupe a dividend every year,
based on interest earned. All of
this is to say that Tim Thou and
Phousita Huy and the dedicated
and talented dancers of the
Troupe will have some guaranteed income every year. At this
point it is small - perhaps only
enough for a costume upgrade,
or to pay for a Master Teach er
workshop - but with the generosity we have seen from our
dono rs and with the goodwill and
guidance of the GLCF, we are
confident that it will only grow
with time. This is a true investment in the Troupe's future and
in Lowell's cultural treasure.

Apsaras Come to Life After 1,000 Years
While this may seem like a
headline from the National
Enquirer (Cambodian Version), in reality it speaks to the
artistic talent of the Troupe's
Phousita Huy and Phnom-Penh
based musician Him Sophy. It
is through their combined
talents that the Apsaras will
come to life, stepping off the
walls of the ancient temples

suffering, need for compassion,
and appealing to the international community for censer-

National Parl( Service Performance
This September we added Williamsburg, Virginia to the growing

Khmet' C:la>>ical and Folk Dance
�Like all traditional arts, Cambodian classical and folk dance has been handed from one
generation to the next. Since the Angkor Era, Cambodian dancers have preserved,
cherished, and celebrated their art.
The Angkor Dance Troupe develops and teaches the traditions of Cambodian performing
arts, promotes an understanding and appreciation of Cambodian culture, and provides a
positive social and educational outlet for Cambodian youth.
The Troupe was founded in Lowell, MA, in 1986, by

traditional dance in refugee camps along the Thai-

Cambodian border. Between 1975 and 1979, when Pol
have preserved,
Pot and the Khmer Rouge controlled Cambodia, most
cherished, and
artists perished or fled the country. It was in the camps
celebrated their art.
and later in places like Lowell that Cambodian dance
was painstakingly resurrected.
Today, dance is one of the primary ways that Cambodian-Americans,
split by politics and war, identify a common culture. For the
people of Cambodia, art is the core of life, combining
entertainment, tradition, religion, and social cohesion.
�C
lassical dance has
been connected to the
sacred rituals of Cambodia
for more than 1000 years.
During the great Angkor civilization, dancers performed blessing ceremonies in
temples to bring prosperity to the kingdom. Once the exclusive domain of royalty,
classical dance is now performed for audiences everywhere and has taken on new
meaning for postwar Cambodians as they work to reclaim a treasured heritage.
In classical dance, we see highly-stylized gestures
in concert with gentle movements. Dancers spend
countless hours perfecting the intricate hand
positions and controlled postures that create the
elegant Khmer classical dance aesthetic.
�F
olk dance is rooted in rural Cambodia and reflects the life and spirit of peasants.
Throughout Cambodia, after the harvest, it is time for music, song, and dance.
Dance motifs, commonly based

on local legends, are inspired
by themes of nature and the
rituals of everyday village life.
Distinctive, colorful costumes
represent the traditional dress
of peoples from the various
regions within Cambodia.
Just as Court Dance is ruled by a strict form and a prescribed
language of movement, folk dance is lively and spontaneous,
created for emotional expressions.
The folk dances performed by the Angkor Dance Troupe were
refined by the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Researchers
L
.r

collected dances and music
from the countryside and
choreographed dances
that were suited to
stage performances.
�History and culture come alive through modern
interpretations of lively folk dance from rural Cambodia
and dazzling renditions of classical court dance, an
ancient tradition dating to the ninth century A.D.
Based in Massachusetts, the Angkor Dance Troupe is
recognized throughout New England as a leading
Cambodian traditional arts ensemble.
The organization comprises
several master teachers and
more than forty students. The
Troupe's repertoire is drawn from a body of work developed at
the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, considered
the artistic standard bearer of Cambodian performing arts.
The Troupe owns an extensive collection of richly-detailed,
authentic costumes and dance materials. Angkor Dance has
participated in workshops at Jacob's Pillow and has performed
at numerous venues including First Night Boston, the Peabody
Museum, and the National Folk Festival.

�I
History of the Water Festival
For many centuries in Southeast Asia, the Water Festival is an
annual event celebrating the connection of water in all aspects of
life - food, agriculture, spirituality and economic prosperity.
Water has always represented prosperity, life and goodness to
the Southeast Asian people . Buddhist scripture explains that the
Water Festival is held to thank the spirit of the water, to pray for
evil spirits to go away, and to honor the Dragon King (Naga) who
dwells in the water. The Water Festival is a time to be thankful for
the rivers, lakes and ponds that villagers depend upon for their
livelihood and economic development.
In the capitals of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, during
the boat races, known as "Bon Om Tuk in Khmer"; "Boun Song
Hae" in Laotian, "Keng Loeur" in Thai and "Le hoi dua thuyen" in
Vietnamese, people of all ages gather at the. riverbanks to sing,
dance, and watch the boat races for three days each November.
Families journey from remote areas of the country by cars,
motorcycles, bicycles, ox, boats, and in some cases by foot to
take part in the festival. Millions come as spectators, cheering
from the shore. The brave come to compete in the boat races determined to win a trophy for their village.
Rowing teams with their colorful hand crafted wooden boats some as long as 70 feet and holding up to 30 rowers come to
compete with enthusiasm, pride and the dream of winning. Long
before the race, each team devotes many months to perfecting
rowing in unison that is guided by the beating of the drums.
Legend is said that team members must embody the spiritual
power and strength to become one when they row during
competition. After having first prepared the physical condition of
their boats, the teams name their boats to capture the essence of
the supernatural power. Once in perfect condition, each village
boat is blessed by the village monks in preparation for the race.
On the banks of the river, thousands of spectators, young and old
alike, crowd over each other as everyone tries to get a better
glimpse, cheering on the speeding boats that pass by. Everyone
enjoys the sideline entertainments - street vendors and activities
along the banks of the river.
Thousands of miles away, along the banks of Lowell's Merrimac
River, the water festival tradition continues. Just as the rice paddies
that feed the people of Southeast Asia depend on water, so too
did the mills that made Lowell a vital part of the Industrial
Revolution need the waterfalls of the Merrimack River. We are
united in recognizing and celebrating the role of water in our
past, present and future. Water is Life!

Merrimac River. PICK UP YOUR FREE
BOAT TOUR TICKET AT THE
LOWELL NATIONAL PARK AND
LOWELL SOUTHEAST ASIAN WATER
FESTIVAL INFORMATION BOOTHS!
The boat tours will be led by park
rangers and youth interns from the
River Ambassadors Program of the
University of Massachusetts Lowell.
The tours will begin from the
boathouse on the river to the Guard
Locks historic site on the Pawtucket
Canal. The tour guides will explain
how the canals were used for
transportation and industry, as well
as touching on themes dealing with
the environmental history of the
Merrimac River Watershed . This will
be a great opportunity for some in
the festival's great crowd to get out
on the water without being in one of
the event's racing boats . Since the
event thematically centers on the
importance of water to the lives and
cultures of the Southeast Asian
communities , the tours will allow
people to experience the water
theme directly via the boats . It will be
a fun ride and educational , too!

For centuries, t e Southeast Asian Water Festival has been
celebrated in recognition of the _importance _of water in all
aspects of life such as food, agriculture, spmtual and
economic prosperity; and
This year, the eigth annual Southeast Asian Water Festival
is taking place here in Lowell along the banks of the
Merrimack River, the very same river that furnished the
m·ills with the power that made Lmvell the manufacturing
capital ofAmerica and the leader ofthe Industrial
Revolution; and
Asians and non-Asians alike can come to the river today
and take part in this traditional festival by enjoying music,
dance, boat racing, foods and many other events which
commemorate those which have been taking place in
Southeast Asia for many centuries.
The Lowell Southeast Asian

the summer of 1 997 to bring
the tradition of the boat races
and the celebration of water
to those who are living in the
second largest Khmer
populated city in the United
States. The event has been
acclaimed for being the
largest water festival in the
nation, drawing more than
60,000 participants each year.
In 1999, the annual Lowell
Southeast Asian Water Festival
was a critical component in
helping make the City of
Lowell the recipient of the
1 999 All American City. The
Festival is now internationally
recognized with participants
from all walks of life and
ethnicities coming from across
the country-and internationally from Canada,
France and Australia .
The Lowell Southeast Asian
Water Festival, Inc. became
incorporated as a non-profit
organization with a Federal
tax exempt status as a

The annual Lowe!l Southeast Asian Water Festival was initiated in the summer of 1997 to bring
the tradition of boat races and the celebration of water to those who are living in the second
largest Cambodian-populated city in the United States. The purpose and mission of the Lowell
Southeast Asian Water Festival, Inc. is to preserve, protect and share their cultural heritages.
In the capitals of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and South Vietnam, the water festival is an annual
event celebrating the connection of water in a!l aspects of life, food, agriculture, spirituality and
economic prosperity. Families travel from remote areas of the country by cars, motos, bicycles,
ox, boats, and in some cases, by foot to take part in the festival. Thousands of spectators both
old and young huddle around the banks of the river to cheer the boats speeding by. Today, along
the banks of the Merrimack River, the tradition continues.
Tne water festival is an enormous undertaking and requires the hard work and dedication of
many individuals and organizations to help plan and produce this event. It is this effort that
insures that the event has been successful and will continue to be successful in the future.

�FLOATING CANDLELIGHT CEREMONY
Saturday, August 21, 2004
Vandenberg Esplanade on Pawtucket Boulevard
( Loy Krathong)
ANGKOR DANCE TROUPE
While facts regarding the origins and intentions of this
ceremony may vary, few would disagree that it is a joyful
and 'generosity-based' ceremony whose meaning comes
from the hearts of the participants. It is celebrated
throughout Southeast Asia as well as at many Temples
in the West. The floating candles are normally designed
and constructed by the person for the occasion. This 21 st
Century adaptation, while made from different materials,
consists of the traditional candle, incense and flowers.
Before releasing it upon the river, the person makes an
intention, or prayer, to loved ones, living or deceased,
wishing for them all the very best of good health and
good fortune.
We suggest that, no matter what our intention, we might
also add a prayer for our fallen and wounded soldiers
and a prayer for world peace.
Friday Evening, August 20, 2004
Middlesex Community College Plaza
SOMALY HAY & COMPANY
I) Dance of Best Wishes: Also known as the Blessing Dance, this
piece is ritually performed at the beginning of all events and programs
to rid evil spirits and to bring forth joy and happiness to the audience.
2) Glorious Day Dance: A glorious day of ours - The children all
meet in solidarity - For friendship all over the world - Heartedly - not
tiring - Living near and far without worries - Very happy - Solidarity in
hand - Having glory and prosperity during our celebration - The coutry
is properous because we love our nation . Performed by a special
group of adopted children from Cambodia: Emma, Sothea, Srey Dy,
James , Lea , and Solinda.
3) Peace Dance: Somaly Hay is a Cambodian Court Dancer trained at
the Royal Palace as a young child. The art of Cambodian Court dance,
as all the arts of Cambodia, was nearly decimated during the Khmer
Rouge regime in the l 970's. Most of the nation's artists were killed
or forced to flee the country. In her search for spiritual understanding
of the events of September 11, Somaly found her sorrow transformed
to a feeling of peace, and was inspired to create this court dance as
an expression of healing. The intent is to illustrate the power of the
mind , spirit, and soul in achieving inner peace and tranquility . "We
pray to the highest power - asking for peace and prosperity. Our
dance is the gift of peace to all. " Performed by Somaly, Rithmaly ,
Sokphury , Nicole, Brenda, and Sophan.
4) Robam Bopha Lokei - Flower of the World Dance: The words in
the song accompanying this dance are translated as follows : "Usually
everybody wants flowers - For decoration or to decorate the body The sweet scent of the flowers bring prosperity - The beauty of the
flowers is like the beauty of the girls - Everybody admires the flowers
- Even the bees surrounding the flowers want pollen - Flowers fully
bloomed make you want to pick them and turn them into flower
garlands ."
1) The Blessing Dance is traditionally and religiously performed in
the Royal palace to get rid of bad spirits and to ask for the deities '
blessing for the royal kingdom . Today, the blessing dance is
performed at the beginning of all types of performances and
ceremonies. It is a dance of greeting and good wishes . During the
performance, dancers sprinkle flower petals toward the audience.
This is done in hopes of bringing prosperity, peace, and good health
to everyone.
2) The Mokor Dance is named after its central character- a mythical
female sea creature associated with the fertility of rivers, lakes and
oceans. Mani Mekhala, goddess of the sea, in her turquoise bodice,
dances among an entourage of dancers. While all performers are
embellished and bejeweled, male characters are distinguished from
female characters by shoulder epaulets and brocaded pantaloons
(kben). Females wear long brocaded skirts and sequined velvet
sashes across their chests . Together, they manipulate decorated
fans, representing the scales of the Mokor .
3) Hanuman & Sovann Mach ha "The white monkey and the golden
Mermaid" In the Indian epic the Ramayana, called Reamker in Khmer,
the queen Sita was captured and taken to the kingdom of Lanka, far
out to sea. The King Rama calls on a famous army general named
Hanuman, the White Monkey, to help him rescue his queen.
Hanuman and his army of monkeys set about to build a bridge across
the ocean to rescue the queen. But as fast they pile up stones for
the bridge, the stones mysteriously disappear .

(Continued from page 9)
The white monkey general dives into the sea to investigate.
What he discovers is a beautiful golden mermaid named So-vann
Mach ha who has been carrying off the stones in an act of playful
vandalism . Hanuman confronts the beautiful but troublesome
mermaid Sovann Mach ha. He can't help but be dazzled by her
beautiful and falls in love. And while she initially resists,
Hanuman uses a variety of tactics to get her attention and
eventually, as the story continues past this chapter, he wins
her over as his partner in the fight against evil.
4) Swva Pol - the Soldier Monkeys: In Cambodian legend,
monkeys always fight evil; in fact there are army soldiers. After
a victorious battle, the monkey soldiers celebrate . They gather
food for a feast. This monkey dance is lively and acrobatic,
always performed by young boys, who are able to capture the
spirit and quick mannerisms of monkeys. Following the original
dance, the Troupe will feature some new choreography with
elements of modern dance. But if you watch carefully, you will
see the dancers remain, throughout it all, Swva Pol, the monkey
soldiers.

years. In addition , a fashion show will exhibit the multi-faceted
traditional costumes of different regions of Vietnam throughout
their history.

�August 19, 2000
Dear friends,
We would like to welcome you to the 4th Annual Southeast Asian Water Festival in Lowell, MA.
1999 and 2000 Lowell Southeast Asian Water is brought to you by the Southeast Asian Water
Festival Committee. We hope you will enjoy this year festival.
Imagine colorfully designed, hand crafted wooden boats, some as long as 60 feet, holding 25 rowers
racing side by side, speeding faster and faster on the river. With the guide of the drumbeat, each
team member in their colorful uniforms paddle together in harmony. Members uniting with the
mission to take back the pride and winning trophy to their hometown. Imagine thousands of spectators along the riverbank cheering for their teams. Both the old and the very young journey from as
far away as the countryside (in some cases by foot) to get a glimpse of this event. Everyone enjoys
the sideline entertainment and activities along the banks of the river. In the capitals of Lao, Cambodia and Thailand the water festival (held every November along the Mekong River), is a major event
celebrating the connection between water and life.
Thousands of miles away, Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival celebration is a unique bridge to
carry on this centuries-old water festival tradition that is celebrated back home. Initiated by the
large Southeast Asians immigrant community that resides here in Lowell, Massachusetts, today it is
a celebration of cultural diversity and appreciation for the river. It includes traditional Southeast
Asian boat races along the Merrimack River, parades, over 40 traditional and contemporary performances and live bands on two stages and children's games and educational activities focusing on
water quality. There is also much ethnic food, Southeast Asian crafts and arts, and informational
booths staffed by health, human service, civic, environmental and local business organizations.
Noted for it's wide participation, uniqueness, and unifying community event, the Lowell Southeast
Asian Water Festival project was highlighted in Lowell's recipient of the 1999 All-American City
Awards. This festival is a partnership of many community groups, including the Cambodian Mutual
Assistance Association, the Lao Family Mutual Association, and Lowell Heritage State Park. Many
other local organizations and individuals have contribution and dedicated their time to make the
fourth annual festival the largest and most memorable one.
For the first time in this year's festival, eight (8) teams will be using two new boats and additional
four (4) teams will be using the two (2) smaller boats. The two new boats, recently arrived from
Laos with 60 feet long and accommodating up to 25 rowers each . Last year, there were two small
boats brought from Cambodia and accommodating up to 13 rowers each. Long before today 's
competition, rowing teams have devoted energy to practicing and learning how to maneuver these
boats in rhythm .
Join us and in celebrating the beauty of the rivers, the blending of traditions and cultures, and unity
of our communities.
Very Truly Yours,
Thel Sar and Paul Kesith
Co-Chairs of the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival Committee

Boat racing is an integral part oi the Southeast Asian water festival tradition. Racing teams from different provinces and
towns compete for the right to represent their temples in national championships held every mid-November on the Mekong
River in the capital of Cambodia and Laos.
In Lowell , we have adapted this time-honored tradition to the Merrimack River. Joining our 32 feet long Cambodian
boats are two new 70 feet long Laotian boats.
Boat races are scheduled every few minutes beginning at 10:00 AM. Races begin upstream toward the Belgrade
boathouse and end near the main stage at the Sampas Pavilion. Race results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony
at the Main Stage at 4:00 PM.

Dear Friends!
Welcome to the Third Annual Southeast Asian Water Festival and welcome to the City of Lowell the All America City! We are so happy that you are joining us today to celebrate our cultures and the
environment in which we ar~ now living today.
People have always drawn to rivers because water is life. For centuries, people throughout Southeast
Asia have gathered along the major rivers to celebrate the importance of water in all aspects of life:
food, agriculture, spirituality and economic prosperity. Today, Lowell's Southeast Asian Water
Festival transports this ancient tradition to the banks of the Merrimack River, some thirty thousand
miles away from its homelands.
~
I
I
First held in the summer of 1997, the annual Southeast Asian Water Festival has attracted some 30,000
people in respect, celebration and appreciation for the water. It is the only festival of its kind in the
United States. As in Southeast Asia, the Water Festival appeals to people of all ages who come together
for traditional dances, music, poetry, story telling, fortune-telling, food, and craft booths, boat races,
and parades of decorated boats. Beginning with a public ceremony of religious, cultural and community
dignitaries, the day ends with a Water Blessing by Buddhist Monks. Now, more than 60 non-profit
agencies, community organizations and private businesses contribute funds and talent to the Festival.
More than 150 volunteers work hard to ensure that the event is successful. The August celebration has
doubled participation in only two years - from 10,000 visitors in 1997 to more than 20,000 last
summer. Its growing popularity guarantees that larger crowds will participate in this year's event.
The Southeast Asian Water Festival was driven by the leadership of the Southeast Asian community.
The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of Greater Lowell, Inc. (CMAA), which headed the
festival, was created by the Cambodian community leaders in 1984 to provide social services,
employment, educational and cultural programs to Lowell's newest immigrants. With the technical
assistance from the Center for Family, Work, and Community at UMass Lowell, the cultural and
religious groups throughout the city are represented in the festival planning. The Laotian Family
Mutual Assistance Association, Lowell Community Health Center, temples, churches, neighborhood
residents and the Heritage State Park representatives are actively involved in organizing and carrying
out the Festival project.
In late June of 1999, the Southeast Asian Water Festival project was highlighted as the one of three
projects in an application to the National Civic League at the All-America City Award j ury competition in Philadelphia. As a result, Lowell was one of the ten cities designated as an "All America
City", and the only city in the East Coast. This is the most prestigious contribution from the Southeast Asian community to the City of Lowell, which is home to the second largest Cambodian
community in the United States; the largest one being in Long Beach, California. It is estimated that
35,000 Southeast Asians reside in the Lowell area and make up almost one third on the City's
population.
We hope that you will enjoy participating in our Third Annual Southeast Asian Water Festival as much as
we are enjoying organizing it. Also, while you are in the area, please don't forget to see many other
establishments in our City as well. Water is life, and there is a lot to like about Lowell!
Sincerely Yours,
Samkhann C. Khoeun
Executive Director, Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association

�Boat racing is an integral part of the Southeast Asian water festival tradition.
Racing teams from different provinces and towns compete for the right to
represent their temples in national championships held every mid-November on
the Mekong River in the capitals of Cambodia and Laos.
In Lowell, we have adapted this time-honored tradition to the Merrimack River.
Our boats, built in Cambodia, are 32 feet long by 4 feet wide and hold 12 rowers.
Boat races are scheduled every few minutes beginning at 11:00 AM. Races begin
upstream toward the Bellgarde boathouse and end near the main stage at the
Sampas Pavilion. Race results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony at the
Main Stage at 4:00PM.

B OARD OF DIRECTORS
Welcome to the 11 th Annual Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival. We hope
that you enjoy the variety of Southeast Asian food , merchand ise, performances,
and arts and crafts that you will encounter throughout our two-day celebration.
The Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival was initiated in the summer of 1997
by a number of community members, including but not limited to Mr. Samkhann
Khoeun - former Executive Director of the Cambodian Mutual Assistance
Association , Dr. Linda Silka - Director of the UMass Lowell Center for Work,
Family and Community, Chath pierSath - Community Activist, Blong Xiong Lao Family Mutual Assistance Association , and Cheryl West and Khan Chau of
the University of Massachusetts, Lowell campus, among others. Their concern
had been the environmental cleanliness of the Merrimack River as well as
surrounding bodies of freshwater.
Mr. Sayon Soeun (President)
Mr. Phone Phetvixay (Vice President)
Dr. Phala Chea (Treasurer)
Vatsady Sivongxay (Clerk)
Devan Phommasinh
Khamtane Khamdy
Buntha Krouch With the intention of bringing a thousand year old tradition from Cambodia,
Prinya Somma/a Laos, and Thailand and tying it to water education here in the Greater Lowell
Ghia Srithong area , the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival was begun and has
progressed to what it is today. As a result, approximately 60,000 participants
are drawn to this event annually, with attendees coming from all walks of life
Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association
(CMAA) and ethnicities throughout the United States, Canada, France , and Australia.
INCORPORATORS
To celebrate the 11 th anniversary of the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival,
Lao Family Mutual Association
a special water education section has been included in the program book.

While the entire event is revolved around boat racing , we also feel that it is vital
Light of Cambodian Children, Inc to teach young children on the importance of clean water in our everyday lives.
LCC) After all, without the water in both the Mekong River and the Merrimack River,
we wouldn't have been able to begin this un ique tradition.
Wat Buddhabhavana of MA

Water and Our Lives
Written by Bopha Tum
Water is life. To people from different background and religions, it embodies birth and
rebirth . To the Southeast Asian people, water not only signifies renewal , but it
symbolizes cleanliness, purity, and prosperity. For Southeast Asians, water connects
all aspects of being: food , agriculture, spirituality, and economic success. Whether it is
known as Bon Om Tuk in Cambodia, Baun Son Hae in Loas, or Keng Loeur in
Thailand , for centuries the Water Festival has been an annual celebration of cleansing
and rinsing past sins accrued during the old year to replenish for the new year.
The Water Festival is the most popular and
strident celebration in Southeast Asia.
Millions of people from remote areas of the
countries journey to the capitals to compete
in the boat races, cheer for their favorite
teams, and participate in the singing ,
dancing , and traditional games. Every year, they put thoughts of work or struggle
aside to be thankful for the rivers, lakes, and ponds that are the main source of their
livelihood and economic development and pray for good fortune , longevity, and the
opportunity to regenerate.
For Southeast Asians, whether this important and fun-filled festivity takes place in their
mother countries or the countries they now call home, it is essential for them to preserve their tradition , take time to celebrate
the event, and share and teach younger generations of Southeast Asians and people from different cultures and background of
who they are, and their values and beliefs.
Each year, on the third Saturday in August, Cambodians and other Southeast Asians come together to Lowell , Massachusetts
to celebrate the Southeast Asian Water Festival along the Merrimack River and reminisce about life along the Mekong River.
Like the Water Festival in Southeast Asia, the Water Festival in Lowell is a time for Southeast Asians living abroad to take some
time to be thankful of all their good fortunes, pray for better living conditions for people
back home, and allow people from other cultures to experience a part of their tradition ,
and learn what makes them who they are. After all, water is life to many of us.
The Water Festival is a time for fun, relaxation, and self-renewal , but it is also a time
to collectively work together to help keep the water clean and safe for future
generations and enable them to continue the beautiful tradition that has been past
down from our ancestors.
"Hanuman" is the popular White Monkey
General from the Indian epic the
Ramayana, now adapted into many
Southeast Asian versions .

Old Crane and Brother Crab
In the middle of the forest, there was a pond that Old Crane inhabited as his
home . One day, Old Crane was too weak to go searching for food . He acted
very worried so that everyone can see.
Brother Crab who was nearby noticed Old Crane looking desolate so he asked
him, "Why are you so sad looking , Big Brother? Why don't you go look for
food?"
Old Crane laments, "Oh , Brothers and Sisters! The fish in this pond had been
my food source! But I had overheard some humans talking with each other about a fisherman who will soon catch
al l the fish here! If there is to be no more fish here, then my death is near approaching! That is why I am
worried ...too worried to think about my hunger!"
All the fish discussed among themselves and decided that Old Crane
might have some ideas to help them . "Oh , Brother Crane," all the fish
called out, "Do you have any plans to help all of us?"
Old Crane tells them , "The only way of keeping all of you safe is to get
you to another body of water. I can bring you to a pond nearby one at a
time. I have seen that pond . There are not that many humans there. "
All of the fish were very happy with that plan and agreed to have Old
Crane transport them to another pond. One by one, Old Crane carried
the fish out of the pond and one by one, he ate them all before returning.
Once all of the fish were gone from the pond, there was only Brother Crab left who asked Old Crane, "Oh Brother
Crane, please bring me to that pond as well. I want to go live with the rest of the fish. "
Old Crane was ecstatic that Brother Crab wanted to go with him ... he had never eaten crab meat before! So he had
Brother Crab hang onto his neck while he flew him towards a mound of land . But Brother Crab was very attentive
and , while in the air, noticed fish bones scattered all over the place. "Huh! Am I coming so soon into my death?" he
thought to himself. "No, I must find a way of saving myself!"
When Old Crane and Brother Crab were on006Cy a few feet from landing , Brother Crab took his claws and
squeezed Old Crane's neck until Old Crane was no longer breathing. And that was the end of Old Crane's life.
Brother Crab had to find another place where he can continue his life. But upon finding no other pond nearby, he
went back in the direction he came from and luckily found his old home. From then on , Brother Crab passed down
his true story about not trusting old cranes to the fish in the pond and he lived a long, happy life.

important role in the success of Cambodian and
other ethnic minorities here in Greater Lowell. The
CMAA offers many important programs such as ESL
courses, job training, youth programs, and cultural
