    ill be honest, this agricultural lifestyle is something alot of the US and European hmong lack. It seems more free. Im one of the families that landed in California, fortunate or unfortunate. Im not sure if its the life my parents wanted, it sure doesn't look like it, and honestly i think they would have been much happier with French Guiana if just only for the agricultural lifestyle. Me personally, along with my siblings don't have the same feelings as the older hmong people here, who still hold onto cultural values, simply because its too diverse in the US and you seem to forget your sparse roots. Im sure every hmong has their own struggles wherever they are, sadly we have lost our homeland, and I feel as time goes on we will also forget our cultural roots.

    • @gthoj8867
      @gthoj8867 3 года назад +2

      Agree! My parents would love to have this lifestyle. I would also enjoy this type of lifestyle too since I know nothing about gardening and growing food. It's something that I wish I can share with my mom (who is still growing her own little garden).
      And it's true that we might lose our cultural roots in the future. Now, a lot of 2nd or 3rd generation Hmong-Americans are losing their native language or can't speak in it at all. I'm afraid that I might lose mine too as I can't communicate well with my parents. Also, among other things, but that can be another topic to talk about it.

      @marlak4203 3 года назад

      That's something i was afraid of too. When I heard so many of the Hmong's interviewed were speaking French that's what had me thinking I hope they also speak their native language. Don't let that go. Keep that knowledge around. Even if people don't "live" their lives like their original people's culture, learn from it at least. Especially the language but...idk sometimes languages do die.
      Would hate for a non-hmong, non-asian person to "discover" the language somewhere decades later.

    That's one great thing about us Hmong people and various other ethnic minorities who walk in similar shoes, because where ever we live in the world, if given the chance, we can turn nothing into anything within the given time, due to our history's extensive knowledge about building communities and a system that would fit a maintained society.
    Also, France doesn't have a lot of Industrial businesses compared to other Western countries, so it's not very surprising that the Hmong Community there have a stronger sense of Agriculture compared to us over here in North America. All my relatives who ended up in France after the war live this type of lifestyle over there too.
