not related to mongols? Well, there is one true thing that we are related to mongols. It is Shamanism. Some mongols and heck, some Turks even practiced shamanism still today.
No Hmong is acting like they're related to Mongol. We are nowhere related to Mongol. We are a very distinct group of people with a long history of our own. We are proud. We survived 5000 years of oppresion. We preserve our ancestors' traditions. Yes, Tibetans are related to Mongol.
I tell my friends, Chinese and Vietnamese included that Mien people will retake our homelands in China back one of these days. I will lead the way. If I have to, I will conquer China one Chinese lady at a time. Starting with the ones here in the states and beyond. Know what I mean? LOL!!!
Nice to meet you. Glad to meet young people such as yourself who is so in-tuned and so interested in their ancient past in China. Keep up the good work.
Mien folklore says we Mien people will unite together one day and retake our home land and country. We already have deeply entrenched towns and communities in autonomous regions in the Guangxi and Yunnan provinces of China.

Watch this video about a short history and info about Mien people.
No, the Hmong New Year does not correlate with the Laotian, Thai, East Indians nor Chinese.
The Hmong New Year festivals held in each state is different due to economic, and seasons. It is anywhere from August to December but according to the New Year's Day in the calender it is not the same day as in the Hmong calender. It has became problematic and the elders would like to see the Hmong-Americans to celebrate just on the same day.
LOL…Sam Lorson does sound like an American right? I am actually an ethnic Hmong and live in Minnesota. Sam is just my nickname. Lor is my last name, it is spelled L-a-u-j in Hmong. My Hmong name is Kong
I took a look at your profile and I wasn't sure if you're ethnic Hmong or not but thanks for telling me you are Mien, a relative of the Hmong/Miao. I am 4 years younger than you. Nice to meet you on youtube, brother. Private message me your email and I will send you the Hmong canlender.
Also a Hmong connection to East Indians through the Mongol conquest of Indian but you've already dis-proven the Hmong-Mongol relation so my theory is false.
Do the Hmong New Year correlate with the Laotian New Year? I am not sure but I believe the Lao, Thai, and Cambodian share the same New Year date. And I believe so do the East Indians.
I thought this cause I couldn't figure why the Hmong have their own New Year date different from us Mien people and the Chinese & a possible connection between the Hmong & Siams which once included Laos and Cambodia whom are distant cousins of East Indians millenniums ago.
I am Mien. We follow the Lunar Calender and today is Mien New Years. Happy New Years.
2nd question. Your name is Sam Lorson I am assuming. That is obviously a white American name. Yet, you seem to be the expert in Hmong history and culture. You're also from Minnesota so I am assuming your of bi-racial from the St.Paul area where good number of Hmong people populate. I am going on assumptions here. Can you fill me in a little about yourself if you do not mind. Thanks
A year ago,I had an interview with a Hmong-Chinese scholar from China,I asked him if the Mien/Yao people have any connection to the Hmong/Miao people.He said that during the Sui and Tang dynasty, the Mien/Yao was not an ethnic identity.They were basically Hmong/Miao.They were the Myao which is the same as the Miao, later the they became known as the M-yao and then Yao ethnic. The Yao/Mien were basically Miao/Hmong one point in time. They are our relatives. I am making a video that will explain.
The Hmong follow the Hmong Lunar Calender. The Chinese have their own Lunar Calender. The New Year are not on the same day. If you like, I can send you an electronic file of the Hmong 2010 calender. I created it for a Hmong agency in town. I have been learning the Hmong calender for 3 years now and it is quite interesting. I will have to begin the Hmong 2011 and 2012 calender soon.
The date for the Hmong New Year is different each year. In Lunar Moon Calender for 2010, it will be on December 6th this year. December 5th will be our New Year's Eve. On this day, we will walk under the maypole, begin soul calling ceremony for the family members, make offering to the ancestors and God of prosperity or God Wealth.

I agree, hmong and mongol are totally not related. Mao, Miao and Hmong are one in a kind.

Yes sir. Mien and Chinese New years.
