My mother's first husband was in the Vietnam War. He told my mother that if wasn't for the Hmong people. He wouldn't have survived the Vietnam War. He spoke very high of the Hmong community!!
I'm Hmong and we thank you for your kind words. Us Hmongs are grateful for you guys as well.. we would not survive without you guys as well. Thank you guys now we are proud Americans and now our new home.
I'm Mien and while growing up here in America, my mom had several Hmong friends that would visit us all the time. I understand that we come from the same history, have very similar story, culture and belief. One of my good friends is Hmong and is married to a Mien wife.

They also have same history of rebellion against suppression and subsequent displacement in search of Freedom. They are Warrior class of Indian society
If you're Mien, I am proud that you are my only brother who we can trust. We fought the Mongols, we fight against the Chinese, and the 18 ethnic groups teamed up with the Hmong-Mien people. We were that much of a terrifying thingy to the Han Chinese. We were like the Greek people of China long ago in the days of the Chu Dynasty. Powerful, we were. China was Rome, and the Hmong-Mien empire was the Greek Empire in China. Sophisticated, indeed. We were highly sophisticated; however, we lack military might and will compare to the Han Chinese. Lao Tzu was our scholar, and he was murdered.
What an amazing video! I used to work with Hmong people in Ban Vinai refugee camp in Thailand during 1979-1981. I still have some items of their beautiful handicraft. And I still have good memories of working together with them. God bless Hmong people all over the world!
Thanks for sharing your experience! That must have been such a meaningful time. It’s wonderful that you still have those memories and their handicrafts! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your experience. My name is Va and I am one of those kids running around in Ban Vinai during the 80s and 90s. I now live here in the US as an Computer Engineer.
Knew many that settled in the Midwest as a kid. I wish we had this history in school. Respect because of the ceaseless seeking of freedom for centuries. My ancestors did the same from Europe. This common ground should be heavily emphasized as great Americans.
Proud to be Hmong. Very happy that’s there are more stories and information are being shared about my people/culture through books and other social medias. 🙏🏼💪🏼

I don’t often see historical documentaries or informative videos like this about the Hmong people. I am Hmong and also first generation American so as someone who was raised and schooled by two very different cultures, thank you for making this video. I think in a small but meaningful way, you healed a part of me I’ve long thought would never be healed. I’ve always thought the Hmong people were some of the most resilient people I’ve ever known much less have the privilege of being a descendent. Our story is one of constant strife, but on the flip side of that is also a story of intense survival and a deep desire to be free. When I was young, I encountered a lot of people who would tell me to leave America. “Go back where you came from,” like I was a balrog of Morgoth come to corrupt the good ole’ village people…😅 My response is usually, “I have no country to call my home so if you’re seriously telling me to go back where I came from…I don’t know where that is because as far as I know, there is none.” That usually gets people really uncomfortable and I can walk away satisfied. 😅 I mean…if you want me to more like a balrog of Morgoth…I can be.
Your people were a big help to the American soldier over there in Vietnam!! I know this because of my mother's first husband!! He owed his life many times over to the Hmong!! It's one of the few things he mentioned about his time over there!!

Seeing as Hmong people are the unicorns among Asians, this is by far one of the most accurate briefings on the Hmongs that I’ve watch. Besides the mispronunciation (which is understandable cause even young Hmong people can barely speak their own language now-a-days 😅) all points were well researched and pretty darn accurate for the limited documented knowledge of our people. Great job.

During the oppressive regime of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), an estimated ninety percent of the Hmong population underwent forced cultural assimilation into Han Chinese society as a survival strategy. This systematic acculturation was a direct response to the dynasty's aggressive policies of cultural homogenization and political subjugation of ethnic minorities.
@@fuethao8633 Historical evidence suggests that full social and economic integration into Qing society required complete cultural assimilation. While oral traditions maintain certain narratives about Hmong ancestry, genetic analysis presents compelling alternative evidence. Genetic testing through platforms like 23andMe has revealed interesting patterns among Hmong individuals in my genetic network, showing predominantly Han Chinese ancestry specifically from the Guangdong region.
We have no country or flag to claim to ourselves in history books. But we have a rich history and traditional culture that brings tears to your eyes, if heard. A culture that can never be duplicated or munipulated by any outsiders. Great story LEGENDS of shamans and spiritual people who made ultimate sacrifices for their people to be free, that can only be told by wise elders.Those who still believes in holding on to our ancestors roots and history, a story of LOVE and WAR, by passing it down to the younger generations. We are 18 CLANS. But together we stand, we are ONE. And forever we are HMOOB IB SIM 💯 NEEJ!

Thank you for your beautiful work. I am very sad to see that so many Hmong teenagers have decided that they no longer value their rich history and have forgotten everything that makes them Hmong. Some even change their names and purposely choose not to speak Hmong or learn the rich Hmong culture. I am sad to say that there will be a day when the Hmong language and rich culutre will be no more. Sad but so true. All those who often say that they are proud to be Hmong, are often the ones who can't even speak Hmong properly or understand its culture. Very sad.
Thanks for sharing. I get where you’re coming from-it’s tough to see. Hopefully, more awareness will help keep the culture alive for future generations. 👍
Assimilation is inevitable, I'm a Hmong immigrant living in Canada and I can honestly say even though I love my heritage and culture I'm slowly losing the ability to speak read and write my own language.

The Hmong are an important part of my wife's homeland of Vietnam. We adopted 2 children from a different ethnic group in Vietnam though, the Dao. I'd love to see a similar video on them as well.
Excellent video that shows the sacrifices and struggles of the Hmong people over time, from China to America. There are many Hmong people scattered throughout the world. This is a video that is easy to follow and understand for those that have Hmong blood but an English tongue. Please, my Hmong brothers & sisters... do not place blame on the children that do not speak Hmong. Language is learned. If it is not used regularly within the household, it is not the child's fault whether or not they learn the language. This includes the children of mixed blood, they ARE Hmong nonetheless. We don't get to choose who we are born as.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. You’re absolutely right-language is learned, and identity runs deeper than just words. Every Hmong person, regardless of language or background, is part of the community. ❤️
Another fun fact: The Hmong people originally had blond hair and blue eyes, an no it is not a form of albinism. During ancient times the Hmong people were facing genocide, they were easily identified due to these unique traits. In other words, for those who were wondering, Hmong people were the inspiration for what DBZ would call "Super Saiyan" 😎👍
That crossed my mind as well, according to the legends! Who knows what the facts are. I've actually seen blondish haired Hmong kids. No sign of blueish eyes, though.

My dad has blonde hair and super light brown eyes. More dirty blonde now since he's aging. None of us kids got his blonde hair but I inherited his light brown eyes. I often get mistaken for wearing color contacts because sometimes depending on where the light hits my eyes, they look grey.
Years ago I had a neighbor with blonde (not actual blonde but very light color hair) but his other family memebers don't have it. Our family is big with 11 siblings and one of my bro and one of my sis have very light eye colors light brown with a hint of greyish green to it.
Though this video is on point for the most part, I feel that it focuses mainly on the Hmong migrating abroad, leaving those who still live in China, Southeast Asia, and other parts of the region largely untold. Maybe the next version should also include those who were left behind and their fascinating facts. That being said, thank you. PS - AI does a good job, for the most part, making these images, doesn't it?
When visiting Vietnam I stumbled on the most beautiful Hmong young women. They were so stunning that it was hard not to be awestruck by their beauty. Flawless skin and the most striking facial features. No makeup made these ladies even more fascinating. Just bare breathtaking natural and innocent beauty.
wow, this video was really informative and beautifully done! i appreciate the effort put into sharing the rich culture of the Hmong people. however, i wonder if the focus on survival might overshadow some of their achievements and contributions to society. it seems like there’s so much more to their story that isn’t always highlighted. what do you think?

I just ran into your video today November 13th 2024. Wow, I'm very impressed. I'll reach out to you. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for this informed video of the Hmong people. I'm Hmong and I'll share this video with my USA born nieces and nephews.👍❤
As old as any tales shared through elders, Hmong/Miao why they no longer have blonde hair and blue eyes, the blood was mixed with Chinese. At the end of their San Miao Kingdom, all males over the age of 7 were killed, and all females were given and or sold to royalty and or military as concubines. The genocide of the entire group was almost extinct, as per any fallen kingdom. Anything and everything about this group will silenced and burned as per China. A Chinese professor nearly 20 years ago wrote a website for the San Miao Kingdom and his studies were about Hmong/Miao. Although he warned me then, he was told many times by officials in China, that this is a topic he should abandon. It's truly heartbreaking that most wouldn't even know of their origins, those who want to speak of the actual existence of Hmong will be silenced. There will be plenty who will pose as elders, even if they do not know of their exact origin and how they came to exist in the United States, who are the ones who made it possible for them to be here. Do not forget who you are, and what was done to your people through China and then the United States, you are Hmong. If the Hmong does not love and value the Hmong, who will? As said through many centuries...
Thank you very much for putting together this well packaged history of the plight of the Hmong people. Well done. One thing that you might want to fix is the pronunciation of the words when you emphasized and pronounce them, for example, "paj ntaub" is not pronounced "padge tob." It's pronounced "paa dau." Thank you very much.
Do you know any Hmong people? 🤩

Many historian are tracing the origin of Meo/mayo/Mew of India and pakistan and the Hmong/miao as same..according to them they originated around persia and dispersed in 2,3 directions. Some reached Indus region of India, some towards China...also similar to Hmong,,,,,the Meo/Mayo/Mew of India are also known for their history of Resilience, Bravery, Courage, Rebellion against suppression, preserving their culture and history, honour, pride, strong clan system with 12 or 13 clans. They also have same history of rebellion against suppression and subsequent displacement in search of Freedom. They are Warrior class of Indian society
Beautifully done.

Seeing as Hmong people are the unicorns among Asians, this is by far one of the most accurate briefings on the Hmongs that I’ve watch. Besides the mispronunciation (which is understandable cause even young Hmong people can barely speak their own language now-a-days 😅) all points were well researched and pretty darn accurate for the limited documented knowledge of our people.
Great job.
Thanks so much for your warm feedback and kind words! 🙏❤️
I wouldn't say unicorns, more people are aware of our culture than many other minor ethnic groups.
@@fuethao8633 True, I thought we're also consider as minori
Thank you for the history coverage of my people.

Well presented. Thank you. Regardless of how the Hmong story is told, it always led to sadness.
Thanks for watching, and I agree, the Hmong story is one of both resilience and tragedy. 💔
Thank you for this video. Great work.
I have some hmong friends from high school and i really want to learn more about their origin and their culture. Thank you for the video ❤
Thank you for voicing this for us….
So glad it resonated with you! 🙂
During the oppressive regime of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), an estimated ninety percent of the Hmong population underwent forced cultural assimilation into Han Chinese society as a survival strategy. This systematic acculturation was a direct response to the dynasty's aggressive policies of cultural homogenization and political subjugation of ethnic minorities.
Qing dynasty was Manchu not Han.
@@junkies1111 That's correct! Manchu, once a vibrant language, is now on the brink of extinction.
They were forced to adopt qing culture in public, but many maintained their culture in private which is why they're still living til this day
@@fuethao8633 Historical evidence suggests that full social and economic integration into Qing society required complete cultural assimilation. While oral traditions maintain certain narratives about Hmong ancestry, genetic analysis presents compelling alternative evidence. Genetic testing through platforms like 23andMe has revealed interesting patterns among Hmong individuals in my genetic network, showing predominantly Han Chinese ancestry specifically from the Guangdong region.
Most Hmongs have Chinese surname: Vang, Yang, Lee (Li)….
Simply marvelously narrated! Quick and to the point. Thank you.
That's very kind of you - so glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗
Thank you for this video. I'm Hmong. 👍 if you're Hmong.
Thank your for sharing the Hmong’s History
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching. 😊
Very informative!!!
Thank you so much! 🙏❤
We have no country or flag to claim to ourselves in history books. But we have a rich history and traditional culture that brings tears to your eyes, if heard. A culture that can never be duplicated or munipulated by any outsiders. Great story LEGENDS of shamans and spiritual people who made ultimate sacrifices for their people to be free, that can only be told by wise elders.Those who still believes in holding on to our ancestors roots and history, a story of LOVE and WAR, by passing it down to the younger generations. We are 18 CLANS. But together we stand, we are ONE. And forever we are HMOOB IB SIM 💯 NEEJ!
Thanks for sharing. Hmong culture is beautifully unique and carries a truly inspiring story! 👍
Thank you for creating this amazing and informative video.
Your kind words are gratefully received! 🙏

Hmong history and involvement in helping the US has largely been ignored. I find it interesting that we are being brought up.
Wow, Great video!!!

We have some of these wonderful people who live in the state I live. Very good people has been my experience.
Long live my Hmong people!

About time my peoples culture!
Very well put together. Thanks for covering the Hmong!
Glad you enjoyed and much appreciated! 🙏
Hmoob Yaaj baby!!!!
Thank you for taking time to put these video and audio together. Great job
Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Thank you for your beautiful work. I am very sad to see that so many Hmong teenagers have decided that they no longer value their rich history and have forgotten everything that makes them Hmong. Some even change their names and purposely choose not to speak Hmong or learn the rich Hmong culture. I am sad to say that there will be a day when the Hmong language and rich culutre will be no more. Sad but so true. All those who often say that they are proud to be Hmong, are often the ones who can't even speak Hmong properly or understand its culture. Very sad.
Thanks for sharing. I get where you’re coming from-it’s tough to see. Hopefully, more awareness will help keep the culture alive for future generations. 👍
Assimilation is inevitable, I'm a Hmong immigrant living in Canada and I can honestly say even though I love my heritage and culture I'm slowly losing the ability to speak read and write my own language.

The Hmong are an important part of my wife's homeland of Vietnam. We adopted 2 children from a different ethnic group in Vietnam though, the Dao. I'd love to see a similar video on them as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely look into this. 👍
@@UntoldHistoryYT Thank you!
Thank you. Definitely could have mentioned that Hmong are descendants of Emperor Chi You, one of 3 founders of today's China.
Very well done. Love it!
Thanks for your kind words! 😊
Thank you for sharing. Great job.
Thank YOU for watching! 😛
Excellent video that shows the sacrifices and struggles of the Hmong people over time, from China to America. There are many Hmong people scattered throughout the world. This is a video that is easy to follow and understand for those that have Hmong blood but an English tongue.
Please, my Hmong brothers & sisters... do not place blame on the children that do not speak Hmong. Language is learned. If it is not used regularly within the household, it is not the child's fault whether or not they learn the language. This includes the children of mixed blood, they ARE Hmong nonetheless. We don't get to choose who we are born as.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. You’re absolutely right-language is learned, and identity runs deeper than just words. Every Hmong person, regardless of language or background, is part of the community. ❤️
Another fun fact: The Hmong people originally had blond hair and blue eyes, an no it is not a form of albinism. During ancient times the Hmong people were facing genocide, they were easily identified due to these unique traits. In other words, for those who were wondering, Hmong people were the inspiration for what DBZ would call "Super Saiyan" 😎👍
That crossed my mind as well, according to the legends! Who knows what the facts are. I've actually seen blondish haired Hmong kids. No sign of blueish eyes, though.
The blue eyes is still a grey area but for sure once in a long while you'll find a blond hair hmong kid for sure!

My dad has blonde hair and super light brown eyes. More dirty blonde now since he's aging. None of us kids got his blonde hair but I inherited his light brown eyes. I often get mistaken for wearing color contacts because sometimes depending on where the light hits my eyes, they look grey.
Years ago I had a neighbor with blonde (not actual blonde but very light color hair) but his other family memebers don't have it. Our family is big with 11 siblings and one of my bro and one of my sis have very light eye colors light brown with a hint of greyish green to it.
Though this video is on point for the most part, I feel that it focuses mainly on the Hmong migrating abroad, leaving those who still live in China, Southeast Asia, and other parts of the region largely untold. Maybe the next version should also include those who were left behind and their fascinating facts. That being said, thank you. PS - AI does a good job, for the most part, making these images, doesn't it?
That’s a good point and thank you for the suggestion! 👍
Good animations and narratives!
Thanks so much! 🤩
When visiting Vietnam I stumbled on the most beautiful Hmong young women. They were so stunning that it was hard not to be awestruck by their beauty. Flawless skin and the most striking facial features. No makeup made these ladies even more fascinating. Just bare breathtaking natural and innocent beauty.
wow, this video was really informative and beautifully done! i appreciate the effort put into sharing the rich culture of the Hmong people. however, i wonder if the focus on survival might overshadow some of their achievements and contributions to society. it seems like there’s so much more to their story that isn’t always highlighted. what do you think?
Very cool video. As a direct Hmong descendant from this story, I thank you for your work. Besides a few pronounceation, it's excellent.

I once knew what's edible and where to look for while in the forest. At the time I was under ten years old. Now older and supposedly wiser, it's Google. Thank you shedding some lights on my people.
Proud to be part of tte history, although not many people knew about us.

I just ran into your video today November 13th 2024. Wow, I'm very impressed. I'll reach out to you. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for this informed video of the Hmong people. I'm Hmong and I'll share this video with my USA born nieces and nephews.👍❤
Thank you for sharing and welcome to the channel! ❤️
Thank you video producer you grest job❤❤❤
Thanks again, Robertt! ❤️
As old as any tales shared through elders, Hmong/Miao why they no longer have blonde hair and blue eyes, the blood was mixed with Chinese. At the end of their San Miao Kingdom, all males over the age of 7 were killed, and all females were given and or sold to royalty and or military as concubines. The genocide of the entire group was almost extinct, as per any fallen kingdom. Anything and everything about this group will silenced and burned as per China. A Chinese professor nearly 20 years ago wrote a website for the San Miao Kingdom and his studies were about Hmong/Miao. Although he warned me then, he was told many times by officials in China, that this is a topic he should abandon. It's truly heartbreaking that most wouldn't even know of their origins, those who want to speak of the actual existence of Hmong will be silenced. There will be plenty who will pose as elders, even if they do not know of their exact origin and how they came to exist in the United States, who are the ones who made it possible for them to be here. Do not forget who you are, and what was done to your people through China and then the United States, you are Hmong. If the Hmong does not love and value the Hmong, who will? As said through many centuries...
We have " Mon " state in Myanmar. Beautiful state with beautiful people and beaches.
Nice! I love how you spread info about so many ethnic groups! Just subscribed!
Thank you, Erik! 🙏
I love the video, and I especially appreciate how you correctly pronounced Hmoob.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Come to ChiangMai, near Doi Suthep and visit the hill tribe at Hmong Doi Pui Village and meet talented, wonderful people.
My Granddaughter is part Hmong. My Son married a sweet Hmong girl.
That’s wonderful-what a beautiful connection to Hmong culture! 🥰
Thank you very much for putting together this well packaged history of the plight of the Hmong people. Well done. One thing that you might want to fix is the pronunciation of the words when you emphasized and pronounce them, for example, "paj ntaub" is not pronounced "padge tob." It's pronounced "paa dau." Thank you very much.
