Born of our beloved sacred Earth
Mother
The presence that connects
There are many, many countless mothers
Who dare sacrifice
Never know fear
Unbowed mothers
Earth Mother bows
From her bosom
Many, countless mothers
Loving mothers to us all
To us
Through your heart
My feet tread this soil.

: Can you please tell us about yourself? Which part of Burma were you from? How did you end up in Indiana?
Elaisa Vahnie: Thank you for this opportunity. I was born and grew up in a tiny village in the Maraland, Chin State, western Myanmar—one of the most remote parts of the world—where my family and my villagers did not have access to proper education nor drinking water. I was forced to leave my native country in 1996 to escape arrest due to my participation in the pro-democracy movement. But I was so fortunate to become a recipient of a scholarship funded by the U.S. Department of State. This scholarship program was administered by the U.S. Information Agency and then Indiana University Bloomington. After many years of having participated in the Burmese struggles for democracy and human rights, and recognizing new challenges and opportunities, I decided to stay to serve and help transform the rapidly growing Burmese population in Indianapolis into a vibrant and productive community and to work with Washington to promote stronger ties between the U.S. and Myanmar. I later discovered my late uncle John Mang Tling —who was an elected Member of Parliament and a parliament secretary of the first democratic Government of Burma led by U Nu — was the first Burmese to be resettled in Indianapolis.
