just want to ask, but do Hmong really want independence? Like, yeah - having a place called home feel great and all, but at what cost? The mountain region where Hmong live is poor and isolated, with little infrastructure (road, electricity, clean water,..). They need lowland's money for development, for education, for poverty eradication program, even for food.. Then these aids disappear overnight, and all you have is some mountains, completely landlocked by two countries that you have rocky relationship with. Young Hmong can no longer find works in lowland's cities, school and medical center will have a hard time staying afloat, and if there's a cold winter that kills most of their herds and crops, Hmong will be truly alone now. It maybe weird coming from a Vietnamese, but nationalism is NOT the answer for everything; most of the time, it's the reason why you need these answer in the first place.

Many Mong fled the genocide occuring in their homelands in the 80s. A large percentage of them were relocated to communities around the U.S. Fresno, CA holds one of the largest refugee Mong communities in the country. I started hiring them at an irrigation company called Pepco for light manufacturing. Within a year they held every position in the plant. They were always early to work, never late, never called in sick. It was disturbing how many came in with bullet holes and burn marks. So sad you could tell these people have been through so much horror. I hold so much love and respect for them.

From elders I was told that the Hmong were winning battle after battle but lost the protection of the Gods because a general in Pa Chay's army ordered the massacre and rape of innocent Lao villagers. When Pa Chay heard about what his soldiers had done he lost the will to fight any longer stating that, "we are no different from the enemies who oppress us." Shortly after, the rebellion failed and Pa Chay was shot along with his baby whom he carried on his back.

Wang Yang that’s what my dad told me. He heard from the OG. The magic is kind of like the way some shaman act. Example: shaman can’t share food or eat “left over food”. So they have to take some food for them first before others start digging in. If the rules are broken, then they lose their shaman power. Pa Chay probably made a vow to the god to use the power for good, however there will always be those bad apples in the group. That ultimately lead to the down fall like you said.

It is when nationalism and greed take over that the government turns to dictatorship only to remain to the illusion of power it has. Then when it's cornered [even in democratic elections], it can do horrible things. An example of this is the Republic of Macedonia [call it whatever, if You choose FYROM - thank You, I love Yugoslavia], when a government that only sought to fill it's own pocket turned to nationalism as a tool to do so... for 11 years. When they got beaten on democratic elections - they attacked the parliament [yes, they attacked as in entered it and started to attack the representatives of the new government [some of the attackers even had guns]. So, yeah... the conclusion is: a government should look at all of the citizens of it's country as equals and strive to do what is best for them - not itself. Sure, there will always be some that try to misuse the power that was leased to them by the people - they should be booted as soon as there is evidence of their crimes. Yugoslavia had Goli Otok, a prison island that was used to separate that kind of criminals and also those who had conspired to cause civil unrest [as well as people that claimed False Valor]. Now, I don't say that everyone on said Goli Otok deserved to be there - tho I claim that most of them did.

There is always a war one just looks definitely than another. War on information on. But, there is most definitely war. Like Reagan and crack cocaine the Iran Contra scandal then making an anti-drug campaign in schools is one example (D.A.R.E) Drugs are really entertaining.... One example. There are many. Our revolutionary war declaring independence to War on Terror- War on Drugs. War is deception it's not actually profitable because it's unsustainable that ends only one way we all go. The species, human one isn't the best. Civil War still rages on in a rebranded way. The idea we live in a peaceful time is false. Old wounds reopen. Old feelings of inequality get sparked. I prefer the paxism reasoning. After all one person's religion is another person's hate crime. Cultural beliefs and narcissistic abuse as well as economic control seem to be at the core as well as sex. War means rape. Means sexual brutality with no boundaries now or honor.

@@jamesdoody7615 Yeah. You´re probably right. I mean, rationally, If you are opressed, that is a problem to complain about and fight against, no matter how, where, when and why it happens. Often, it is the opressor who also defines the victims. It could, and should maybe, be dealt with within the existing structure to prevent further harm. But then again, experience tells, that this rarely happens, hence the desire to get to run things "by your own people". Of course, that doesn´t guarantee personal freedom at all, but somehow it seems to be easier to bear being oppressed by "your own kind". Maybe the human mind, soul and gutfeeling is really not a rational place.

Very much so. The American revolution was an incredibly unique situation with a very unique set of people. It was more like a rebellion on mars would be against an earth who really doesn't care enough beyond pride to keep them under their rule. Basically we were the best case scenario to win and we almost lost several times. The civil war was much more like a normal revolution with a better more well equipped and more populous power overtaking the other. However I think what's overlooked is that even if the rebellion fails, change happens. You don't have to win to get the most important things to you dealt with. After the American civil war many of the biggest issues, slavery and such were made in favor of the north, however many of the other economic causes of northern oppression of the south were resolved as well. Laws that favored northern industry and quashed southern industrialization were eliminated and train routes were built through the south that previously had only been in northern states. In the modern era the best strategy isn't to win, it's to fight enough to force the oppressor to compromise with you. Winning is more or less a bronze medal unless you have some way to get the other side to stop fighting as well. In the American revolution it was a complete pardons, benefits and compensation that kept the 30% of the population that were loyalist and 40% that were neutral from preforming a counter revolution.

If you thought about the possibility, and spent time thinking about what you might do about it if necessary, then you were ahead of 90+ percent of people who almost never consider the likelihood that they might encounter violence and therefore fail to have even a poor plan to deal with it.

Years ago working on a water reservoir on top of a small mountain 4 of us were stripping forms on the lid when suddenly a helicopter climbed up and over us and was gone. Looking around there now was only 3 of us. We found Tun below in the bushes the tank was 30 feet high. We called break and went down to him all he said was,"helicopter very bad" a few times. He was vietnamese.

There is a large Hmong population here in Sacramento, CA. I know a few of them and have worked for them doing some radio ads promoting diabetes awareness among the local Hmong community. A very nice people with a strong culture despite them being displaced.

I don't get it. The Hmong are self-sufficient, conservative, and not interested in changing the surrounding cultures, so why does everyone hate them? They seem pretty sane compared to other separatist groups.

Pretty much because they are rebellious, honest and easy to persuade, if you ask a Hmong person to do something and you promise something in return chances are he/she is gonna do it right away without thinking of the consequences, it is a well known fact that although the Hmong have a strong sense of justice when it come to their own community but when it comes to something that doesn't relate to them they are incredibly ignorant about it, i lived in Vietnam and where i lived we have a large community of Hmong people and in the 2005-2007 if you ever goes outside for any kind of business you have to be extremely careful because you can be rob, beaten and killed at anytime by the Hmong people, the Hmong were persuaded and brided by some sort of rebellion group that said that the communist party is evil and they should kill them all to take back the Hmong land, back then the place where i lived is a very remote place that's surrounded by the forest, that's only beginning to be notice by the government and the only people there is usually border patrol officers watching the border of Vietnam and Cambodia, my family moved to there because my dad is a architectural engineer and he want to start his business at a place where it's starting to getting attention from the government and getting more money to work on the infrastructure of the provinces, however it is proven to be very difficult to do work there because you're afraid to even walk out of the house, one wrong step and the next thing you know all of your belongings is gone, and that's when you're a normal vietnamese person, the soldiers got it even worse, the Hmong will just casually throw a grenade under the soldiers table when they're having a meeting or something like that, many people have died because the Hmong people were easy to fools. They are strong, honest and friendly but too ignorant about the consequences of their actions and their unwillingness to learn a new way of life, and that is why many people don't like them and considered them fools.

I love your interaction with the children and the villagers, so wonderful. And hooray for the acceptance and interest in the drones. Your filming is beautiful and I loved your sharing this with the villagers. Nowadays, it seems that in the U.S., at least (and especially California), a drone is considered to be as bad as a machine gun. The hatred toward drone owners shocks and saddens me. For so long I wanted to buy a drone for myself. I imagined all the amazing photography I could learn to do. A few months ago, I finally bought one, but during the two weeks it too to get to me from China, I learned about all the places it is now illegal to use them...so much so that I honestly don't even have a clue as to where I can use it at all. Way way way out in the desert, I supposed. So far, I haven't even unboxed it. I am busy with so many other projects now that I don't have the time and energy to sit down read 600 pages of discouraging FAA laws. Very sad.
