		•One Song, Many Voices: The Asian Pacific American Experience Permanent Exhibitions
			Our permanent centerpiece exhibit depicts the 200-year story of the immigration and settlement of Asians and Pacific Islanders in Washington state, from the first Hawaiian settlers to the new refugees from Southeast Asia. The exhibit includes 10 Asian Pacific American groupsÑCambodians, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, Laotians, Pacific Islanders, South Asians, Southeast Asian hill tribes and Vietnamese. The display is the only one of its kind in the nation to integrate the many different experiences of these groups into a cohesive story of courage, determination and success. Included are artifacts and signs from early Asian businesses, including restaurants, social clubs, a barber shop, an herbal shop and a hand laundry. There are photos and artifacts from local Asian sports teams, musical instruments, festival clothing and depictions of food practices. A miniature model recreates the assembly center in Puyallup, Washington, where thousands of SeattleÕs American-born Japanese were unjustly incarcerated during World War II.
