What is a Hmong?

The Hmong are an ethnic group originally from regions in China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Historically, they are known for their rich cultural traditions, distinct language, and vibrant textiles. Many Hmong people immigrated to countries such as the United States, France, and Australia after the Vietnam War, particularly due to their alliance with U.S. forces during the conflict. Today, Hmong communities maintain their cultural heritage while also adapting to new countries and environments.
