Report from Hmong American Students
Posted by alicemercer on February 24, 2007
Our cultural group comes from Laos, but most of our families were in refugee camps in Thailand before we came here. Most of our families speak Hmong, one group member is Mien, which is another cultural group in Laos. We all speak English.
Our foods are noodles, and egg roll, but they are different than American and Chinese noodles and egg roll. Papaya and fruit. We celebrate lunar new year. Sometimes Hmong people have string ceremonies where we kill two chickens or a pig, to bring good spirits back when you are sick. They ring bells, and gongs. They tie strings around the persons wrist. The strings red or white or both. Strings are for good luck. We put white strings beside us, to keep away bad ghost.
Some of the students in this group had extended family living togehter, but most were nuclear, with only parents and children.
Finishing High school and going to college is more important, because adults want them to have good jobs.
Older people are more important, because young people has to take carre of them when we grow up.
