001355912 520__ $$aThe Split Horn chronicles the seventeen-year journey of a Hmong shaman and his family transplanted from the mountains of Laos to Appleton, Wisconsin. As a shaman, Paja Thao ministers to the physical and spiritual needs of friends and family with elaborate rituals that bridge the natural and spirit worlds. His young daughter's narration gives us insight into the transition from an Asian village to Middle America. To his dismay, Paja's children are losing touch with their family's ancient traditions as they turn to TV, computer games and Christianity. Only his youngest daughter, age fourteen, who studies Hmong traditional dance, seems interested in her culture. Paja's sixteen-year-old son, Xue, works at the local pizza parlor and spends most of this time with his American girlfriend. Paja's concern about family unity deepen when Xue reveals his girlfriend is pregnant. Paja's older children have started families of their own, turning to Christianity and severing ties to their ancient Hmong traditions.Seeing his family splinter causes Paja great sadness. He conducts a ceremony and while in trance, discover that his own soul has strayed from his body. He spirals into depression and is unable to heal himself or to perform rituals for others for a year. Ultimately, the crisis sets off a family and community response that helps restore the shaman's strength and reunites his family.
