Welcome to Season 3,
Episode 35. Today we talk about The History of the Hmong in
America. The Hmong are a people without a country. An ethnic,
indigenous minority that are believed to have originated in
southern China, the Hmong diaspora are international but are
predominantly in China, Laos, Vietnam, the US, and Thailand. We
share the origins of the Hmong as well as their migration to the US
after the failed Secret War in Laos and end of the Vietnam War.
Hmong are known for their beautiful textiles and silverwork, and we
highly recommend you seek out more information from places like the
Hmong
American Center in Wausau, Wisconsin, the Hmong Cultural
Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, or online at Hello Hmong. We
bring back What Are We Watching for our recurring segment, and we
share our thoughts about the Netflix shows Nimona and Cowboy Bebop.
