Who was the first Asian American to be elected to the United States Congress?
Dalip Saund (1899-1973) was the first Asian American to be elected to the United States Congress. Born on 20th September 1899 in the Punjab region of India, Saund developed a passion for education. He attended the University of Punjab, where he earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Seeking further opportunities, he set his sights on the United States, arriving in California in 1920 to pursue a master's degree in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.
Saund faced discrimination and limited job prospects due to his ethnicity. Undeterred, he took on various odd jobs, including working as a farm labourer and dishwasher. In the 1940s, Saund became involved in local politics, joining the Democratic Party and actively participating in community organizations. His dedication to public service led him to win the position of Justice of the Peace in Westmoreland, California, in 1949. In 1956, he ran for a seat in the United States House of Representatives, representing California's 29th congressional district.
Saund's election to Congress in 1957 was a watershed moment for Asian Americans, who had long been marginalised and excluded from mainstream politics. His presence in Congress shattered stereotypes and challenged the prevailing notion that Asian Americans were perpetual foreigners. Saund's election was a testament to the power of perseverance and the potential for change in a nation built on the principles of democracy and equality.
BoTW/TotK Hyrule Settlements - But With Mennonite Names
Today in Canada is the last day of Mennonite Heritage Week 2024 so I thought I'd bridge together a few of my interests together for this fun little project of mine!
Process (skip 2 paragraphs if you want to cut to the chase)
So basically, places (in the real world) settled by ethnic Russian Mennonites usually follow x rules in terms of naming. They: 1) have two components, where the second is almost always a geographical term, 2) have the first component of the names either an adjective, another geographical term or a personal name, and 3) are officially named in High German (AKA Standard German) and have a vernacular name in Plautdietsch (Mennonite Low German) which uses direct translation of the High German name. More on this, including the real-world cities I analyzed to come to this conclusion!
Disclaimer: the process of coming up with these involved visiting the location on my Switch, looking component candidates in my Plautdietsch-English-High German dictionary written by Jack Thiessen using his orthography system in the Bergthal dialect, after which I searched up the High German translation so apologies for any inconsitencies!
Without further ado, let's dive right in, formatted "[actual name]: [High German name] | [Plautdietsch name]!
This one may be my most liberal interpretation of the city as it takes the name "New Castle Town," as this seems to be the most bustling city since the destruction of Hyrule Castle Town in the Calamity. This name is reminiscent of Neubergthal, Canada which was named after the Bergthal colony is present day Ukraine. This is basically the only exception to a Mennonite place name having more than 2 parts in it - when it is "new."
2. Kakariko Village: Gruenthal | Jreentol
This one, meaning "green valley" is also a place in real life! The only difference is that the German ü is written without the umlaut in real life while my version adds the e after the umlautless vowel. This practice is also occasionally done in real life (such as the former village of Schoenfeld in the Russian Empire,) and I prefer it better. Also, my definition of "valley" here is a little shaky, but you can't deny that it is quite Green!
3. Gerudo Town: Sandfeld | Saundfeld
Geographically, one of the most defining features Gerudo Town is that it is located in a desert. However, I could not find any sources of Mennonites settling deserts (could not find enough information about the names of Mennonite settlements in Mexico) so I opted to use the extremely common "feld," meaning "field," and "sand"/"saund," meaning "sand," because that is basically what this kind of desert is.
4. Goron City: Heissberg | Heetboajch
This one means "hot mountain." The "berg" part is super common in real-world Mennonite place names, while the "heiss" part, less so as it is an adjective. Still could've been possible though! However, I sort of had the same issue naming this as I did with Gerudo Town, Mennonites did not settle volcanoes. I initially wanted to name it the equivalent of "Lavariver," but then I remembered that the Lava turned into hot spring water in TotK (?!) or something to do with "volcano," but the Plautdietsch word for "volcano" is the already lengthy and compounded "fieaspieenda boajch." So I settled for Heissberg.
5. Hateno Village: Weidethal | Weidtol
Meaning: "pasture valley" - maybe this one is a little farfetched since you could argue for the little pastures being irrelevant/not pastures at all technically (admittedly did not think too hard about the definition of a pasture) but the "thal" (meaning "valley") component is super common!
6. Korok Forest: Waldheim | Woohldheim
Meaning: "forest home." Both are common components in place names, though I personally have never seen them together. There are many forests in Hyrule, though none are both a Forest and a settled home and thus the name was born!
7. Lurelin Village: Fischerdorf | Feschadarp
Kind of weird to use "dorf," which means "village" in a world where Ganondorf exists I know...but "Fischer" means "fisher" (don't any of you dare hit anyone with a "this post transcends language" real ones know what a cognate is) so I thought it could fit. I was also iffy about using the name of an occupation, but there are sometimes personal names used in place names (especially in former towns of Mennonite colonies in Ukraine) so maybe in another world, it could've happened.
8. Rito Village: Saeuleinsel | Stendainsel
Naming this one really threw me for a loop because it made me question..what the heck kind of landform is Rito Village? I later decided it was a "pillar island" though I have never seen either terms used in a place name so I suppose you could say I am the least proud of this one.
9. Zora's Domain: Zoraheim
This means "Zora home," which I basically decided was what they meant by naming the original Zora's Domain that in 1998. Technically this would be incorrect as "Zora" is not a proper German given name, but it will have to do. Again, this whole project is hypothetical...
And that's the end! I know the demographic that would probably enjoy this the most is incredibly niche but if you made it this far, great job! Here's another TotK screenshot from me as thanks 🫶💚
