Hi There,What's Hmong's status in Vietnam ?
I don't know the status of Hmong in Vietnam. But I can tell you about the Hmong where I am at, there are two tribes of Hmong, the White and Green tribes/community. I was told that they do not get along well with one another. Nevertheless, they are very generous people and has an organized community. They appear very carefree about current events.
Even in today's modern society, they still elect a tribal leader within their community. The community held a magnificently, grand festival and comes together every year during the Hmong New Year. It is one of the most spectacular site. The girls will dress up in there traditional attires, decorated with shimmering silver jewelries. The sounds of fun, filled with songs, dances and laughters at every turn.
I have been very honored to attend several of their New Year Festivals as well as being invited into their homes to eat Hmong's version of phở noodle soup. It is much sweeter than Vietnamese phở with a lot more sugar added, but it is delicious all the same.
In several occasions, I was invited to their past time chicken fight matches, where imported giant Cornish Game Cocks dual it out on a drawn out dirt arena. There are many, many more positive things to say about their culture.
