Description:
Cambodian-American Heritage, Inc. (CAHI) is a non-profit organization, founded in 1980.  The mission of the organization is the preservation of Cambodian arts and culture here in the United States.

The centerpiece of the organization's cultural activities is its dance troupe and music ensemble.  For almost 20 years, the troupe has performed selections from the repertoire of Cambodian classical and folk dances.

In 1998, Madam Sam-Oeun Tes, the troupe's dance director, was honored by the presentation of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship award for her work in the preservation and performance of Cambodian dance in what has now become an adopted part of America's folk heritage.
