From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -
The Hmong (pronounced [m̥ɔ̃ŋ]),
are an Asian ethnic group from the mountainous regions of Vietnam,
Laos, and Thailand.
Hmong are also one of the sub-groups of the Miao
ethnicity (苗族) in southern China. Hmong groups began a
gradual southward migration in the 18th century due to political unrest
and to find more arable land.
A number of Hmong people fought against the communist-nationalist Pathet
Lao during the Secret War in Laos. Hmong people were singled out for
retribution when the Pathet Lao took over the Laotian government in
1975, and tens of thousands fled to Thailand seeking political asylum.
Thousands of these refugees have resettled in Western countries since
the late 1970s, mostly the United
States but also Australia, France, French
Guiana, and Canada. Others have been returned to Laos under United Nations-sponsored repatriation
programs. Around 8,000 Hmong refugees remain in Thailand.[3]
