| | Welcome to HAP |
| | By 1982, the Hmong population in the Twin Cities had increased to 12,000 people, the largest urban Hmong population in the United States. | | | Many of the Hmong were involved in the "Secret War of Laos" as allies of the United States and fought against the communist expansion in Indochina. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | It was believed that the Hmongs did settled in Mongolia. | | | Many also believe that the Hmong are one of the Lost Hebrew Tribes. |

| | 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. |

| | Hmong Awareness |
| | The Hmong are truly a people without a country, and the history of the Hmong certainly confirms this fact. | | | 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. | | | As it became obvious that the war was lost however, many Hmong were forced to flee their villages. |

| | Appeal from Hmong People in Northern Laos, Nov. 13, 2002 |
| | In 1975, the Vietnam War was over for the U.S. government, but the war is not over for Hmong people because the U.S. government pulled out of Laos and opened the door for the Communist Lao and Vietnamese governments and soldiers to kill Hmong people and former CIA soldiers in Laos. | | | If the governments of Iraq and North Korea are guilty because they have produced and used biological and chemical weapons, weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons, then also the governments of the LPDR and Vietnam are guilty, because these two governments have been using biological and chemical weapons against Hmong people in Laos. | | | There are more than 14 Vietnamese and Lao military regiments composed of many thousands of soldiers and troops who have surrounded and are conducting an ethnic cleansing war, genocide and biological and chemical warfare against Hmong people in Laos today. |

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 relief agencies running the camps set up CAMA (Christian and Missionary Alliance), Marsha MacDowell reports, to help the women gain some money and "leadership" skills, as well as to help them preserve memories of Hmong culture. |
