The Hmong constitutes one of the most
ancient people in Asia. Today, they number about 8 millions, including other
subgroups of Miao, scattered by the events of history, over centuries, from
China to Southeast Asia, from Laos to Australia, Europe and America. Since 1975,
which marked the end of Vietnam War, more than 150,000 Hmong refugees from the
Secret War of Laos have been resettled in the United States.
