Presidential candidate Mitt Romney made an  slip of the tongue when he mispronounced Sikh as sheik when commenting on last week’s tragic shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. His faux pas points to just how little most folks know about the Sikh community, even in Eugene where we have a vibrant population right here in our midst.

Folkstreams has been running a 1992 documentary about the dances and songs of Sikh women in Sacramento that’s worth checking out. The trailer is below and the full 26 minute film is at: http://www.folkstreams.net/film,108
