Immigrant Stories is a research and archiving project run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) at the University of Minnesota. Immigrant Stories helps immigrants, refugees, and their family members create digital stories: brief videos with images, text, and audio about a personal experience.
\n\nThis project defines \"immigrant\" broadly. Our collection contains digital stories from people living outside their country of birth as well as stories created by their children and grandchildren. Immigrant Stories also welcomes stories from international students, international adoptees, and people who do not feel that their stories fit a particular, or just one, category. All stories are important, and we invite you to make a video and share yours with us.

As a child, I\nlived with my parents near the old Schmidt brewery on what is commonly\nknown as the \"West end\". At the time, my family consisted of, My mom,\ndad, sister and I. Me being the second born. We lived with our\ngrandfather, who is my dad’s dad, across the street from Monroe\nelementary school. When I was three, my parents split up and my mom\nmoved to her hometown in Grand Forks North Dakota. My dad moved to a\ntown home in Apple Valley. My sister and I then moved with our\ngrandmother, who is my dad’s mom, on the west side of Saint Paul,\nwhere we grew up and spent the rest of our childhood. Eventually my\nmom moved back to Saint Paul to be closer to my sister and I. As my\nsister got older, we became distance and my sister moved with my mom.\nPart of the reason I did not want to live with my mom and decided to\nlive with my grandma, while my sister moved away, was because I always\nfelt like the odd one out. My mom’s side is Mexican and her family\nspeaks Spanish and has darker skin then us. On my mom's side of the\nfamily, I was always the lightest one. They called me guerro meaning\nwhiteboy. Communicating was often hard, I was discouraged by my\nlighter tone and a lack of spanish that I spoke but for my sister who\nis a lot darker than me, she enjoyed seeing that side of the family of\nmy mother. I however, did not. I felt as if I could never fit in,\nwhich made me very uncomfortable. I was around 13 when she moved and\nstarting Junior High. We didn't talk much after she moved. Over time,\nwith space from each other, our families relationships got slightly\nbetter. The energy became less negative when we were around each other\nand our bonds slightly tighter. As I grew up, I was no longer\ndiscouraged by my lack of knowledge of spanish language or my skin\ncolor compared to my cousins. It wasn't until after high school that\nmy sister and I became close. Now we are each other's best friends.", "kaltura_video": "1_593mzejr", "page_count": 0, "record_type": "primary", "first_viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "attachment": "214.pdf", "attachment_format": "pdf", "document_type": "item", "featured_collection_order": 999, "date_added": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_added_sort": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_modified": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "_version_": 1710348538331791360, "type": "Moving Image", "collection": "p16022coll554", "is_compound": false, "parent_id": "230", "thumb_url": "https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/1369852/thumbnail/entry_id/1_593mzejr", "thumb_cdn_url": "https://dkp5i0hinw9br.cloudfront.net/163bf8e94554a9a92f3ee408bdf02ab68d7b8107.png", "children": [ ] }
