The Miao Unreached People Group Miao or Hmong ?: Both terms are used for this people group, though many Hmong from SE Asia see the title "Miao" as derogatory". Information: Go to the People Profile page to learn basic facts about the Miao such as locations, language groups, maps, and even a discussion on whether we should call them Miao or Hmong. Our primary purpose is to assist the body of Christ throughout the world in praying for the salvation of this unreached people group of 9 million, most of whom live in China. www.peopleteams.com /miao

The hilltribes of Thailand, Northern Thailand: Hmong Hilltribe - by Thailand online The Hmong are diligent and independent people, fond of wearing their silver ornaments during ceremonies and much devoted to the sky spirit they believe has created their own ancient way of life. In Thailand there are probably about 60000 Hmong people settled in villages throughout a wide area of the north, with perhaps another 50000 refugees from Laos living in camps located near the northeastern border of the country. Most of the Hmong people are turning from opium growing, and are now seeking to market their exquisite needlework in order to supplement their income. www.thailine.com /thailand/english/hill-e/hmong-e.htm   (430 words)

opium.htm By: Gary Y. After being disposed of their traditional lands, many Hmong and other indigenous people of China took refuge in isolated mountains areas which were suitable only for slash and burn cultivation. By the early 19th century, it was said that the opium poppies cultivated by Han Chines had multicoloured petal while those of the Hmong were of the one colour and their fruit was bigger; and that Hmong girls did not use opium to seduce visitors as did chines girls From the available literature it seems that the Hmong in China still carry out slash-and- burn agriculture supplement by wet field terracing where possible. www.hmongnet.org /hmong-au/opium.htm   (1746 words)

info: HMONG Some Creationists believe the Miautso (Hmong) people are decendants of the Bible patriarchs, because the names of the Miautso kings in the lineage sound very similar to the names of the biblical kings, and in the same order. Even though most Hmong families speak a language other than English at home, many Hmong Americans are rapidly blending into mainstream American society, and many young people are losing their culture and ethnic identity at a fast pace. Perhaps not much can be done about this now but hopefully some people will understand the relation between the words Miao and Hmong better, if they are used in a more logical way. www.info-macedonia.com /Hmong   (1746 words)

The Hmong Tragedy: The Hmongs in the United States, their Origins in Laos, and the Future For the many Hmong people who will be left behind after the last wave of officially registered Hmong immigrants go to the United States, the possibility of severe persecution and death is very real. As Hlee Vang reports, the Thai government has also used the Hmong people in a secret war against Communist threats in the area, but now that the politicians in Thailand have decided to "renormalize" their relationship with Laos, it seems that the Hmong are about to be betrayed again. In one case in the previous decade, I was at the hospital with a teenage Hmong girl whose abusive "husband" or boyfriend in a big fight had previously encouraged her to attempt suicide with an overdose. www.jefflindsay.com /Hmong_tragedy.html   (12099 words)

Hmong Awareness The Hmong people cling to this culture even today although they are far away from their homeland of the mountains of Southeast Asia, and this dependence on the culture can lead to problems in the classroom. The Hmong are truly a people without a country, and the history of the Hmong certainly confirms this fact. Hmong syntax is similar to English in that it follows the subject-verb-object pattern, however adjectives and demonstratives come after the noun ("this fat man" loosely becomes "man fat this"). web.csuchico.edu /~ah24/hmong_awareness.htm   (378 words)

Miao or Hmong? Instead the term Hmong is to be used to designate all groups of the people.4 I do not agree, however, and maintain that this is a result of confusing denotation with connotation. Many Hmong living in the West believe that every people should have the right to choose their own self-designation in other languages. It is these non-Chinese Hmong who advocate that the term Hmong be used not only for designating their dialect group, but also for the other groups living in China. www.peopleteams.org /miao/MiaoHmong.htm   (378 words)

Story Cloths The Hmong may once have referred to themselves as "Mípeo," the "embroidery people." By the 18OOs the Chinese had supposedly classified them into 70 (in other accounts, 55) clans and required them to wear certain costumes, to segregate them. "The Mien people are still living in B.C. times," a Hmong leader, Seng Lee, joked with a reporter in 1986. (The Hmong had worn this art, not hung it on walls.) Later CAMA encouraged the women to stitch not only images of insects, say, to protect children, but images of village life back in the hills, or the animals and plants theyíd known, or scenes from traditional legends. www.georgeleonard.com /aph_story_cloths.htm   (518 words)

Han Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sharing the language and culture of the Shang people, they extended their reach to encompass much of the area north of the Yangtze River. During the past two millennia, the Han culture (that is, the language and its associated culture) extended into southern China, a region originally inhabited by the southern natives, including those speaking Dai, Austro-Asiatic and Hmong-Mien languages. The people in the Wu area today continue to speak a separate dialect (that is unintelligible to Mandarin) but do not see themselves as a separate ethnic group. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Han_Chinese   (2083 words)

THE TRANSNATIONAL RADICAL PARTY JOINS THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES TO DEMONSTRATE FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY IN VIETNAM ON THE OCCASION OF THE MEETING BETWEEN THE US PRESIDENT AND THE VIETNAMESE PRIME MINISTER In particular, as representatives of indigenous peoples' organizations we call on the US Government to pay particular attention to the respect of the fundamental rights of the indigenous people of Indochina, namely the Montagnard Degar, The Khmer Krom, the Hmong and the Tai people. On June 21, the Transnational Radical Party (TRP) will join the demonstration convened in Washington by four groups of indigenous peoples living in Vietnam, on the occasion of the meeting between the US President George W. Bush and the Prime Minister of Vietnam Phan Van Khai. Over the last few years Vietnam has been trying - and this effort is still ongoing - to expel the TRP from the United Nations for its support to the Montagnard people and for giving the floor to their leader Kok Ksor, at the UN Commission on Human Rights. coranet.radicalparty.org /pressreleases/press_release.php?func=detail&par=7689   (520 words)

Hmong guests realized the Twin Cities had many advantages: sound Hmong leadership, good understanding between Hmong refugees and the local population, strong educational programs and possibilities of employment. www.hmong.org /displaycontent.asp?ID=17   (470 words)

Hmong Families Older people in the Hmong village were respected because they had lived a long time and had many life experiences. A Hmong wedding ritual involves tying a length of white ribbon or string from around the wrist of the bride to around the wrist of the groom.

Hmong History This comes to the conclusion that somewhere along the way, may the Hmongs intermarried with blond haired blue eyes people, or maybe the Hmong may have migrated to Europe for a while before heading towards China. In the Hmong folktales which were orally passed down from generation to generation, there were talks of Hmong having their own emperor of China.
