INDIANAPOLIS — On Saturday, hundreds gathered for a festival that’s all about harvest, celebration and embracing your cultural roots.
The Chin New Year originated as a festival celebrating the end of the harvest season. In 1949, the Chin Affairs Council in Burma made a resolution that the Chin New Year would be an official holiday celebrated annually from Oct. 26 to Oct. 28. Attendees could enjoy a variety of Chin cultural dances, traditional songs and food. There were also speeches honoring the day and educational opportunities.
