Chaldean Americans

Chaldean Americans are individuals of Chaldean heritage who have migrated to the United States, primarily from Iraq and surrounding regions. They are part of the Assyrian or Iraqi Christian communities and often practice Nestorian Christianity or related denominations. Many arrived as refugees or immigrants seeking safety and stability. They maintain their cultural traditions, language (Aramaic or Arabic), and religious practices while integrating into American society. Today, Chaldean Americans are recognized for their strong community bonds, entrepreneurship, and contributions to local economies, particularly in cities with significant Chaldean populations such as Detroit and Chicago.
