Hmong people are thought to have existed nearly 6,000 years in Asia especially from Mongolia in the early civilizations to the current mainland China (Tuam Tshoj in Hmong) and Southeast Asia (Xov Tshoj) at least for the past 4500 years. They have their own distinct and unique language, culture, and religion throughout Asia for centuries.

These Indigenous Hmong people are the descendants of the ancient Great Hmong Emperor Chi-You (In Hmong ~ Huab tais Txiv Yawg) during his Joualidou Kingdom around 2600 B.C. in China, and the San-Miao Kingdom now known as Southern China.  Due to countless wars and battles with the Han Chinese for centuries, the Hmong migrated southward into Southeast Asia where Nraug Na and Gao Youa established the Great Kingdom of Jars known as Plain of Jars in Xieng Khouang Province, Laos according to Hmong folktales and history.

The Hmong people were closely allied with France during the French Indochina era for the French colonial empire which began in the 1920s under the command of Major Roger Trinquier. As France withdrew from Southeast Asia in the mid 1950s, the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) entered and recruited the Hmong to be its ally.  Teamed with Thailand, the US heavily recruited and trained the Hmong to deter North Vietnam’s supplies line known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail in addition to the the annexation and colonial occupation of the region from the Pathet Lao regime (Currently Lao PDR) from 1960–1975, where over 40,000 Hmong soldiers had lost their lives in the battlefields.

When the United States withdrew its troops from the Vietnam War in 1975, the Hmong faced prosecution and racial discrimination by the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) backed by Vietnam. The defenseless Hmong people who escaped to the jungle of Laos after the Vietnam War, are being prosecuted continuously by the Lao PDR until this day. Innocent women and children were being hunted like animals in the jungle of Laos by the communist regimes.

After the Vietnam War, approximately 100,000 Hmong immigrated to third world countries such as the US, France, Canada, Australia, and a handful of other countries.

Due to the ongoing prosecution of the Hmong people in Southeast Asia, Hmong State stood up to peacefully fight for our people’s rights under the United Nation’s Charter and Articles. Our only hope is to urge the international community to help create a self-ruled sovereign state for the near endangered Hmong people in Asia, so we can live peacefully like the rest of the world!
