Sherpa Kyidug members and Network of Sherpa Students and Professionals (NSSP) New York deserve special thanks and appreciation for successful organization of Losar Program on February 27, 2010.

The range of different program activities organized by NSSP targeting for children and youths were effective and educating. The young Sherpa lady professionals sharing of their achievements and challenge stories were interesting, educating and empowering for coming generations.

The Sherpa cultural program beginning with welcome song, the dress up and presentation of the participants were really great. Different cultural performances initiated by the Sharwi Rikshung Loptak remained the particular attraction of the Losar party. The Sherpa song, with damngyang music performed by trainers Pasang Tshiri and Dendi Sherpa and followed by middle age Sharwa men and women was excellent one. The performers were mainly non- Khumbu Sharwa, which indicates that Sharwa from other parts of Nepal are interested to revive their cultural performances and preserve culture, if they have forgotten, for future generations.

The children probably under-ten performed Sharwa cultural dance Shyapthuk (shabru) was the major attraction and bore significant sense and importance for the future generations. This taught the lesson that young generation need to learn, train and proved it is possible to preserve our threatened culture, no matter wherever you are.

The award distribution ceremony by the NSSP to the US graduating Sherpa students from the First Sherpa PhD Fellow and Post Doctoral Fellow of the Yale University, Dr. Lhakpa Norbu Sherpa was very rewarding and empowering to the students and parents both.        This ceremony presented a social recognition and appreciation for the academic achievement of Sharwa students in the USA.

Other entertainment programs of Sherpa dance, Nepali dance and English dance were equally well organized. Food and drinks were excellent.        The program was attended by guests from Nepal Embassy, Heads of New York city, Senator of California, Political representatives from Nepal, more than thousand Sharwas from USA and abroad.

The program was culturally motivating, educating, sharing of happiness and enjoyment. Not only that it was also socially empowering and politically presenting Sherpa community as a united community, peaceful and maintaining their cultural identity in the globalized capital city of New York.

Apart from New York Losar, I would also like to appreciate all the Sherpa communities living in various parts of the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan and Asia who equally deserve special appreciation for making this years’s Losar Program a grant success and presenting Sherpa community as a distinct community who has its "own cultural" identity, sovereignty and glorifying the image of Nepal worldwide. At the same time, contributing to maintain our unique culture even today's vibrant globalized world context.

May the year bring peace, happiness, success in the lives of all Sharwas, Nepalese, and global population.

Congratulation for all Sharwas and Happy Losar! Tashi Delek!

Mingma Norbu Sherpa

CELEBATING THE YEAR OF THE TIGER IN NEW YORK

It must have been nearly 20 years ago that I first heard about Sherpa Losar celebration in New York.    I was a University student in Seattle at the time. Our own Seattle Sherpa community was so small that those who can afford the time and money flew to New York to celebrate. I did not make it to New York but always admired the initiatives of the New Yorkers.

I returned to Nepal soon after. Over past two decades, Nepal went through a major political upheaval and economic decline.    Many friends and acquaintances left Nepal to escape violence and seek economic opportunities elsewhere. Many ended up in New York.

Recently, I got an opportunity revisit US as a Fulbright Fellow at Yale University. Connecticut is not very far from New York and I was invited by the NY Sherpa Kyidug and the Sherpa Student and Professional Association (NSSP) to the Year of the Tiger Losar celebration. The one day event was action packed with children’s programs, cultural shows, activity reports, prize distribution, and speeches.

I arrived around 6:30 pm amidst of an interaction program on Sherpa women professionals and academics. It was encouraging to find that many younger women are now receiving advanced academic and professional degrees in various fields. Being in America seems to be working well for the women. They are able to become job holders and bread earners instead of being an under-appreciated homemaker back home. There were also unfortunate cases of prolonged family separations and impacts of the economic downturn.

Formation of Kyidugs and celebration of Losar in many areas US show the interests and commitment in maintaining culture and community spirit. Contrary to the common belief that immigrants easily gives up their culture, many are doing their best to retain their identity even under the most trying circumstances. The Buddhist altars in rooms, traditional folk music, and prayer flags proves that the material and spiritulism are resilient, because these are based on strong Buddhist values that are supported by a much larger communities of people around the world

As we left the party in the early hours of the morning, I was less sure of the survival of the Sherpa language. It had suffered many decades of state violence in Nepal. It now faces whole hoards of challenges associated with globalization. Saving a community language requires timely actions and commitments from people all ages and backgrounds. Younger generations must be able to demand it as part of their cultural inheritance. The older generation must take the responsibility to passing it on. An effective way to do that is to open a Saturday School in Sherpa language. This will take us one step closer to translating the Kyidug’s slogan “BE A SHERPA, SPEAK SHERPA" into a reality. Great slogan and excellent program, Thuchhe....
