Sithy Yi performing the Fishing folkdance with Chhean Sreng Ngive at the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp in Thailand, in 1981. In the Fishing dance boys flirt with girls who are busy gathering fish for their family’s dinner. The basket Sithy is holding is designed to catch a specific kind of fish along the shore. Sithy and the other dancers in the group have stayed in touch over the years. There were about fifty who are now living in Belgium, France, Cambodia, Australia and the U.S. Chhean lives in Minnesota.
