Résumé documentaire — langue originale

This chapter traces the origins and development of the Odisha Society of the Americas (OSA), exploring the contributions of founding community members who envisioned the organization’s establishment in 1969 and charting its growth over the past five and a half decades. As a prominent socio-cultural and political organization serving Odias across the United States and Canada, OSA has long functioned as a unifying platform for the diaspora, fostering connections while championing the Odia language, poetry, drama, dance, music, and diverse artistic and textile traditions. Within the competitive landscape of American multiculturalism, where ethnic communities continually negotiate visibility and influence, OSA has served as a vital space for articulating and sustaining the political and cultural identity of Odias in North America. The chapter draws on institutional ethnography to situate OSA within broader frameworks of diaspora and transnational theory. Through a combination of participant observation, archival research, and longitudinal ethnographic inquiry, the study investigates how OSA has actively shaped Odia cultural and political belonging across the continent. The author’s sustained engagement with the organization since 1992 is positioned not merely as background but as a methodological resource, one that affords rare insight into the organization’s internal workings, leadership debates, and evolving institutional priorities that would otherwise remain largely inaccessible to outside researchers.
