In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, Twin Cities PBS (TPT) is offering programming that recognizes and honors the contributions, histories and cultures of AANHPI people in the United States.
The AANHPI community is incredibly diverse, encompassing more than 50 ethnic groups, each with their own unique history, culture and traditions. From the rich traditions of East Asia to the vibrant cultures of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, AANHPI communities have made significant contributions to U.S. society and helped shape the nation’s history.
From exciting YouTube series to full length programs, we invite you to explore the variety of content we have celebrating the histories, stories, cultures, and achievements of AANHPI people and communities. This year, a new season of the food and culture series, Relish, returns with more chefs, more music and more flavor than ever, Hosted by Chef Yia Vang of Union Hmong Kitchen and the soon-to-open Vinai, the series allows viewers the opportunity to travel the culinary globe without leaving Minnesota, and to explore the stories of local chefs and food artisans who bring their heritage and creative flair to their delicious dishes.
For even more options, make sure to check out TPT’s AANHPI Heritage Month Collection.
