CMAA'S KHMER LOWELL MAGAZINE
A Message from the Executive Director
Dear Fellow Cambodians and Friends,
I would like to take this special occasion to extend my warm invitation and greetings to all of
our community members, supporters, friends and public officials during the Cambodian New
Year festivities in the month of April 2000. The Carnbodian-American community in Lowell,
Massachusetts as well as many others alike throughout the country, are celebrating this
ancient traditional event called Choal Chnaim Tmey in the Cambodian language or New Year
Celebration.
Traditionally, Cambodians celebrate holidays all year round, but they have one favorite
holiday. Cambodian people have an acute sense of the dramatic, and their celebrations
abound with costumes, lights, floats and parades. Singing, music and dancing are very
popular and enjoyed by people of all ages.
The most popular festival that the majority of Cambodians take part in is the New Year. The New Year Celebration
customarily lasts for three days, from the I 3 th to the 15 th of April. The actual date and time are determined by an
astrologer who calculates the exact moment when the new Thevada or angel along with his or her animal protector,
such as the hare, tiger, dragon, just to name a few, arrive to replace the out-going one. The Thevadas have the
responsibility of looking afterthe well being of mankind . While getting ready to welcome the new deity, most people
spend their time cleaning and decorating their homes so as to ward off evil spirits and disaster. Cambodians in the
United States continue to honor this tradition and celebrate this special fe stivity as much as they can by choosing
the dayand time, and also by conducting activities close to what is done in our native homeland, Cambodia.
On Saturday, April 8, 2000, from 2:00 PM to 11 :00 PM, the Cambodian Mutual AssistanceAssociation (CMAA) and
its community partners will host this wonderful celebration known as the Khmer New Year Festival to be held inside
the newly established Tsongas Arena. The day will be filled with many aspects of Khmer cultural activities including
traditional dances ; music ; a fashion show highlighting Khmer costumes from past to present styles; Khmer opera
known as Lakhan Bassaack; Aa-yai- Khmer improvised singing between male and female; a comedy show; recreational
games; concert performances; and social dances with the local Sava Band. The Angkor and Friendship Dance
Troupes, Cambodian celebrities from Cambodia, our local youth groups and young models will take part in these
planned activities and performances. The New Year Steering Committee has been working very hard to make this
special event fun and for it to appeal to all age groups.
Therefore, on behalf of the Board of Directors, staff members, volunteers, and the whole Cambodian-American community
of Greater Lowell, we would like to, once again, extend our warm invitation to our friends, colleagues, family members, and
public officials, and others who are interested in learning our culture, to join us today as we celebrate our joyous New
Year Festival with the theme "a celebration of unbroken Khmer Heritage ... in a new millennium." Welcome!
Sincerely,
Samkhann C. Khoeun

This year, a golden dragon was welcomed to take the Rabbit 's
throne. This Dragon no longer blows flames of fire , instead the
flame is transformed into a joyful tone of music that fits into every
body's favorites. However, although the smart and sweet Rabbit
has gone, the happiness he made for us last year is still in our
hearts.

The good memories of working together has strengthened our Lowell
community. All the bad things have started to disappear from our
eyes and from our heart as well. The terms " Cambodian kids,
Spanish kids, Vietnamese kids, or even White/Black kids" are less
used. Instead, the word "Our Kids " is taking place now.

Moreover, I would like to take this opportunity to give my tremendous thanks to all those people who have supported this Khmer

donations, or articles, is greatly appreciated and beneficial to the
CMAA and the community as a whole.

Why isn' t it on January I st ?
Just as cl imates, waters, rivers, seas, oceans and the like differ from
time to time, and from place to place, in like manner New Year's day
differs from coun try to country. From post-Angkor period, l 43 21863A.D., to the present day, Cambodians have used both types of
calendars, lunar and solar. According to the solar cal endar, thei r
New Year 's day starts in the month of Chet.

Mid-April is the dry season when farmers do not work in the fi eld,
thus it is a good time for the New Year' s celebration . The actual
time and date are determined by astrologers who calculate the exact
moment when the new animal protector arrives. Many people spend
a whole month preparing for the celebration. Duri ng the first three
days of the new yea r all the people (from the king to farmers) are
free from work and go to offer foods to monks in pagodas, play
games, dance and si ng. At the time of the changing of the animal
protector, Cambodians pray for prosperity, good health and to show
gratitude to parents, to change the old ways of li fe and make resolutions, to pay debts, and to exchange g ifts, it is time to begi n
agai n ... a fresh start.

The Angkor Dance Troupe
as fast as they pile up stones for the bridge, the stones mysteriously disappear. The white monkey dives into the sea to investigate. What he discovers is that a school of fish, led by a golden
mermaid named Sovann Macha, has been carrying off the stones
in an act of playful vandalism. Hanuman confronts the beautiful
troublesome mermaid Sovann Macha - at the same time he can't
help but be dazzled by her beauty and falls in love. While she
initially resists, Hanuman eventually wins her over as his ally in
the fight against evil.
Founded in 1986, the Angkor Dance Troupe is nationally recognized as one of the most experienced and accomplished Cambodian dance ensembles performing today. The Troupe has performed at prestigious venues including the White House, First
Night Boston, and Yale University. In 1999, the Angkor Dance
Troupe received the "Coming Up Taller" award from the
President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. The awards
were given to a select group of IO organizations from across the
nation to honor exemplary youth arts programs.
In the Putterf(y 't)c,.nce, a group of young Khmer hunters capture
butterflies. But when the helpless creatures beg for mercy, the
boys let them go. The Butterfly Dance symbolizes the curiosity
and compassion of Cambodian people, their willingness to always
help and support one another, and above all, their desire to live in
peace and harmony.
Cambodian Classical Dance dates to 700 AD. Classical dancers
performed in temples in ceremonies to appease the Gods and,
more recently, in the royal palace for the King and his guests in
the royal court. Elegant and refined, Cambodian classical dance is
sometimes called "court dance" or Cambodia's "royal ballet."
Once reserved exclusively for Cambodia ' s elite, classical dance is
now performed for audiences around the world and has become a
central symbol of the beauty and spirituality of Cambodian
culture.
'J?ickit,fl l<rovc,.nh is a traditional dance of the Por tribe, which
lived in the Pursat Province of Cambodia. The dance demonstrates
the tradition of farmers who each year would embark on a long
journey - 3 to 6 months long - to pick Krovanh, a spice found in the
distant mountains. Before the journey, the Por villagers gathered
for a big ceremony to pray and offer foods to the spirits - in the
hopes of good weather for their harvest journey and protection
from evil spirits.
Folk dances emanate from rural Cambodia -- from the countryside. They depict aspects of everyday village life and honor
traditions and skills typically undervalued in the rush to civilization - skills such as fishing and harvesting rice. Cambodian folk
dances are lively and spontaneous, created for emotional expression. Costumes are very colorful and reflect the traditional dress
of the particular province or ethnic group within Cambodia where
the dances originate.
Tivic,. 'J?ro~ey was originally performed in Cambodia in honor of
National Children ' s Day. It is designed to give young dancers
experience in movement and the rhythm of the classical
orchestra.The song and dance describe solidarity, nationalism, and
also, the children's joyous day.
The Dances for this Evening's Program
'J?ea.cock of 'J?ur:ic,.t originated in the Pursat province of Cambodia, where lush tropical forests are home to a large variety of
animals and birds, including numerous peacocks and peahens.
The birds' fabulous green and black tail feathers bear the stamp of
nobility. During the dance, performers wearing headgear of
peacock feathers represent apirs of pewfow as they play in the
forest and float on the mountain breezes.
The Pl~:iit,fl l)co,ce was originally performed in the royal palace
in Cambodia to rid the palace of bad spirits and to bless the royal
kingdom. Today the blessing dance is performed at the beginning
of performances and ceremonies of all types. It is a dance of
greetings and good wishes. During the performance, the dancers
come forward and sprinkle flower petals toward the audience. This
is done in the hope of bringing prosperity, peace, and good health
to everyone in the audience.
There's a saying in Cambodia "Where there is water, there are
fish." During the rainy season, the great lake Tonie Sap swells
and spills over, flooding nearby ponds and streams and carrying
along many varieties of fish. When the waters recede the fish
remain, providing the Khmer with a year-round food supply. The
Fi:ihit,fl l)c,.nce demonstrates traditional methods of catching
fish, using braided bamboo baskets and traps.
Te~ Monorum, often considered the most beautiful in the
Cambodian classical dance repertoire, embodies the wellbeing,
friendship, and prosperity of Cambodian people.
Swvc,. 'J?ol - The Monkey l)c,.nce is from the legendary Cambodian Reamker, from which many classical dances derive. In
Cambodian legend, monkeys always fight evil. These monkeys are
army soldiers gathering food for a feast to celebrate a victory. The
lively and acrobatic monkey dance is performed by boys and young
men, who capture the spirit and quick mannerisms of monkeys.
Following the original dance, the Troupe will feature some new
choreography with elements of modern dance.
Love and romance are favorite themes in Khmer stories and dance.
In traditional Cambodian society, young people are carefully
watched and don't have many opportunities to get to know one
another. But the fishing quarter is one place they had the chance
to meet. The Angkor Dance Troupe's rendition of the Fishing
Dance shows how young people balance courtship and custom by
the river's edge.
Hanuman & Sovann Macha or The White Monkey and the Golden
Mem1aid also depicts a scene from the Reamker. Before this
episode begins, the queen was captured, abducted to the kingdom
of Lanka far out at sea. The King calls on a famous army general
named Hanuman to help him rescue the queen. Hanuman and his
army of monkeys set about to build a bridge across the ocean , but

"What is th e Future of Cambod ians in America" Forum 1/21 /00
O n Fr id ay, Janu ary 2 1, 2000, Light or Cambodian C hildren, the
Camhod ian Mutual Ass ista nce Association of Greater Lowe ll, Inc. (Ci\!AA),
and the Umass Lowell Gra du ate Sc ho o l of Education came toget her to cosponsor a forum on the future of Cambod ian s in the United States. The forum
was held at the CMAA bu ild ing located at 165 Jackson Street, Lowell, MA.
There were about o ne hundred people in attendance includin g
prominent people such as Councilor Rithy Uong, the l'irst Cam bodian Ameri can City Councilor; Mr. Bouy Te, Deputy Director at the Office or Bilingual
Ed ucatio n and Min o rity Language Affairs of the U.S. Department of Education;
an d Dr. Khatharya Lim , Assistant Professor in the Asian /\mer·i can Studies Program at the University of California, Bcrkely.
While the majority of the audience were studen ts (high school and
college), also present were parents, profess ionals, and city school committee
members. All shared the common interest which is "Education, Th e Future of
Cambodians in America".
11any i:,,;sucs and topic:-- vvcrl' hrought up :-- uch as
\
education , culture clash, lines of communication, parental guidance, and lack
of role models.
Panelists had a chance to talk about their past and how education and
perseverance brought them here. Their hardship ranged from dodging bullets
to dying in the streets of Cambod ia. How hopes and dreams kept them alive,
and as survivors, th ey wanted to co ntribute hy advocating and educat ing the
main stream co mmuni ty about Cambodian people. Studen t s who .s erved as
panelists had a chance to voice opinions regarding their lives as
American
youths and how hardship seemed to parallel the "grown ups". Though living in
America seemed a luxury, hard ship ofren places them in man y pr-cdicamcnts
that "grown ups" mi ght not have realized .
One major contribution was the setting up of the Cam bodi an Ameri can Scholarship Fund, which was to aid those stu dents who arc comm itt ed and
m oti vated to continue onto hig her education. The sc holarship was set up by
Light of Cambodian C hildren w hose mi ssion is to build a future l>a scd on nonviolence, caring, skill s, unde rstand ing, an d hum anitarian action:,,; ha:-,:ed on the
common concern for the well -being of Khmer children.
In follow up to the forum, aud iences an d panelists, both agreed that
th ere should be more rol e models fo r the you ng ge neratio n to look up to.
There sho uld he more communicatio ns among you ng and o ld. The gap should
cl ose if the future of our community is to thrive es pe cia ll y in the area of
edu cation and co mmuni cation.
NOTE: T he Cambodian Am e rica n Scho larship app li cat ion material s (applicati on fo rm , essay, two letter of recomm e nd ation , and o ffi cial tran sc ript) must

APRIL 2000
CMAA'S KHMER LOWELL MAGAZINE
The Sun will shine...
Why does it seem like the war will never end?
Why can't my people make amends?
We le~ our country to stay alive,
But even here we can't survive
Brothers die and sisters cry
Moms and dads wonder why
The children they run away
Against each other they become the prey
In the streets they join a gang
~~
In a week, a gun goes bang
A trigger pulled without a thought
Too late no~ a brother shot

We live the war again and again
Can't my people comprehend?
It's time we put it to an end
Lift your spirit and keep hope alive
No more worries and no more cries
LET Us HELP You
MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
The sun will shine and we will rise.
