Tai Studies Center (TSC)

The Tai Studies Center (TSC) was founded by a group of Tai Dam refugees and some of our American friends.  Our elders recognized that because our numbers are small, we must work hard to preserve our culture. In addition to cultural and historical projects, the TSC is supporting Tai Dam students for higher education, and engaged in economic and humanitarian projects directed towards the Tai people living in Northwest Vietnam.

The purpose of the TSC is to research and publish Tai history and literature, to preserve and promote Tai culture, to support students in higher education, to promote the common welfare and well being of Tai people, and to promote intercultural understanding and cooperation in the community at large.
