Did you know that the United States of America is home to the largest Hmong refugee population in the world? This happened after the “Secret War of Laos”, which was developed by various conflicts and wars, such as the Indochina wars and 20th-century conflicts relating to Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Along with the principal involvement of France and, later on, the United States (from the early 1950s). The aforementioned wars were known as the French-Indochina War and the Vietnam War, or the First and Second Indochina Wars.
Despite what they have been through, the Hmong community stood tall and opened its doors to showcase their remarkable beliefs and traditions. The Hmong community is proud to make known their wide range of cultural traditions that have compassed the full spectrum of religious streams and cultures. There are a lot of American Hmong that are into Catholicism, Christianity, and Shamanism. However, others are not affiliated with any religious stream. But rest assured that these Hmong individuals identify themselves as culturally active in terms of the Hmong community centers, organizations, and so much more.
