    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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. ❤️

    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?

    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.

    It is said that the Hmong are the descendants/followers of Chiyou, while the Han are the descendants/followers of Huangdi and Yandi.

    I have met some Hmong brothers and sisters that say, "We're not Chinese." I usually explain it like this: we are technically part of the Chinese family. Imagine a family tree where the Hmong are way out on a distant branch.

    Correct the narrator: Hmong do NOT marry their own clan, only marry OUTSIDE clan, i.e. even from different blood line, the "Yang" cannot marry to another Yang, its consider his cousin. He must marry to a Lee, Lor, Moua, Her etc.

    • @UntoldHistoryYT
      @UntoldHistoryYT  5 дней назад

      Exactly-Hmong tradition requires marrying outside the clan. It's an important cultural rule that keeps family lines distinct. 👍

    @ 0:35 When I was a kid in Asia the elderly told folklore stories about our origins :) "One special occasion, I've heard one story saying that an endless Wall stretched out so far that it was beyond the eyes could see it" I thought to myself maybe it was just a made of myth or something but "wow" this image said it all" Another occasion, I've heard that the Wall was the root caused of disagreement that led to disastrous conflicts and then a huge migration of Hmong moved out of harms way :( This is such an historic document

    Since it’s an AI narrating, for the people who wants to know the correct way to pronounce “Txiv Neeb” it’s pronounced as
    “Tsee- Neng”
    Note: The Hmong language is a tonal language

    It's ironic that our ancestors moved out of China to preserve their culture but each successive Hmong American generation is less connected to their roots than the last while those that stayed in the motherland have been allowed to keep and maintain their traditions.

      @fuethao8633 18 дней назад

      @@yellowneck92 There's literally villages of Hmong people living in their ancestral villages in China, keeping their traditions alive. Theyre more Hmong than those that left and then assimilated or adopted south east asian cultures along the way. "Hmong food" that we eat today isnt even hmong food but rather food from south east asian cultures that we adopted such as Thai, Lao and Vietnamese food.

    The saddest thing was how the Hmong went from people of nation to tribal or country less. We are neither tribal nor indigenous people. For now, clans(Xeem) are just parts of the Hmong. We are Hmong people not clan people. Separate we fall. United we stand.

    Nice facts! Just need to get those Hmong words pronunciations a bit closer like the last part. "Txiv Neeb" he pronounced "Twix need" and "Paj Ntaub" pronounced weird. Once these words pronunciations is corrected, it will be a helpful source. We dont want to mispronounce and misinterpreted our language and culture. GOOD WORK! KEEP IT UP!
