The Hmong Experience

Hmong Experience in America Lesson Introduction (10 min) Seminar Preparation (15-20 minutes) Seminar (15-20 minutes) Video Clips (5-10 minutes time permitting)

Who are the Hmong? Asian ethnic group living primarily in the mountains of China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Migrated to SE Asia from China in the 1800s seeking freedom and independence

What role did the Hmong play during Vietnam? The CIA recruited Hmong villagers from Laos to help them fight against Communist forces during Vietnam. Hmong fighters attacked N. Vietnamese convoys on the Ho Chi Minh trail, rescued downed American pilots, fought against the Pathet Lao Communist party of Laos.

What happened to the Hmong? The Americans pulled out of Vietnam in Saigon, the main city of Vietnam, fell to the Communist. Laos fell to the Communist soon after. Many Hmong families fled the Communists in Laos. They became refugees first in Thailand and then in France and the United States.

Where are the Hmong today? Approximately 270,000 Hmong live in the US, mainly in CA, MN and WI Approximately 460,000 Hmong still live in Laos— some facing the threat of persecution Hmong also live in China, Vietnam, Thailand and France
