[@wangcyang89]

I'm so impressed by their english... happy to see they're given opportunities such as this.

[@bephotospired5703]

What a beautiful series! Thank you for highlighting the Hmong people in Sapa. I had the privilege of taking a trekking tour with the woman in the video, Bee. She generously showed us her village and home and even cooked us a meal. It’s great to see that tourism is helping with the livelihood of the people, and I hope that the beauty and tranquility of the place live on.

I like this video very much, it is so impressed me that I see my Hmong Vietnam who shared our Hmong cultures with the Western people and got some training and supports from them that was a greatful. I would like to thank those foreigners for their helps to my Hmong people in Vietnam this was amazing to me. I would like to take this opportunity to say that this is the first time I see almost every Hmong Vietnam spoke English fluently this is fantastic I do share your concerns, your poor and sadness, please do the best you can to support your family and every Hmong family in Vietnam I wish a happy new year and good luck I wish you a wonderful day.

Thank you PATA for showing this video.

[@disappearintothesea]

It’s been almost 3 years now. Can you give us an update on how sustainable this project is going? Thanks.

[@maiseesyang]

Their English, wow, it's amazing that they learned it.

[@americanronin5223]

Very proud of the progress you've made from a fellow Hmong in America.

[@X_Lee.]

My beautiful Hmong sisters. May your lives have blessings always.

[@txiabneeb]

I'm filled with happy tears and more tears for the tears I yet realized I could...:-(

[@maileeyang7667]

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

Good luck ladies, hope you all have a happy and prosperous life. ❤️👍😇

[@teri9636]

AMAZING resourceful culture! Would love to visit.💖

[@Enjoythevue]

Now these are strong woman. Their English is so good. I would love to meet these sisters one day soon!

[@ndrcalrryx2094]

I am Hmong and I have been curious about the way of life among Hmong women and families in remote Vietnam. This is an amazing project! Thankyou for all that you do and thanks to the partnerships and organizations you guys worked with. I feel so inspired. I love the song in the credits. Its so sad. It happens a lot in the culture. Is there a way I can hear the full song?

[@tednguyen7258]

are u hmong from vn?

[@solidstudd22]

My favorite Hmong food is "Kapoon". I love eating that stew with rice.

[@nicolexiong2128]

Love the story

[@COMOEHIILINIIHENRYTM]

Amazing + beautiful place nice voice. love from Senapati India notheast.💕

[@chongvang5556]

I appreciate the simplicity of my fellow Hmong back in our displaced footings. It’s absolutely nice to know they strive with such apart-ides of being displaced throughout history. As we know this is far from the norm of today’s Hmong society where Hmong people are far into modern advancements. We hold stature far more than just this aboriginal depiction lol but in essence I see their resilience. Ever since we lost china as a true empire and people before any so called dynasties I’d ask… if you knew all you knew, did u ever ask… who did it first?! Owned it first?! Lost it first?! We aren’t from Vietnam lol we were the first before any emperor.

[@TKCoutside]

I just watched an amazing film on PBS about these folks. A family, drunk father, overbearing mother, 15 year old daughter nearly kidnapped and forced into a marriage… crazy 🤯

[@yusranadhanin494]

I already there. I like Hmong and Sapa

[@hmongtalk1175]

I love the end the song was great...

[@juliusangawa802]

Please keep nd maintain your culture , it is your identity . Many people lost their identity with their culture being lost.

[@kv13944]

Beautifully done.

[@allmylove223]

They can speak English very well.

[@theru1862]

Some of them don’t understand and I’m Hmong too well I just wanted to say thank you for all of your hlp

[@DuyenNguyen-id1cn]

There are some groups of HMong people in Vietnam, such as black Hmong, Red Hmong, White Hmong, etc. They're deviced by the different of clothe's colors and language, not because of their skin color.

[@hmgcrawler]

I really give props to my hmong Vietnam and hmong Chinese people. They reached out and learned and understand other cultures and languages which better themselves to find wealth and support their family. It also teaches others about our culture, nevertheless like the hmong Lao who depends upon other to help them, but only to cheat the people's who helps them for their own benefits.

[@newlife20244]

They speak English better than me who live in USA for 20years lol

[@johndoe_yoe6257]

I'm sorry but the word Hmong is pronounced "mong", the H is silent. I'm very impressed that these Hmong women can speak English without much training, way better than some in America LOLZ.

[@teovu5557]

God bless the Hmongtain peoples!

[@惠花-c2s]

The song is such beautiful in the end, where I can hear it

[@___Sh3rlyn]

I'm not sure if this video is bad or good. I feel like we "Hmong" should stick together. We are all one kind.

[@JY-tq4ir]

love it

[@TheBvmnv]

is there a full version of the song at the end ?

[@cbtvietnam]

Hi Angie, the song was sung by Ha, who is featured in the video. We mixed it with the other song that you here in the background. Happy you liked it. Thanks for sharing!

[@chungsungchannel]

Ohh i like this song

[@juliusangawa802]

These Black Hmong people look like the Ifugao people of Northern Philippines . Even their rice terraces looks the same.

[@ngocnguyenvan7912]

Very good😅

[@ChienPham-fg9gm]

i cry ....

[@fuethao1393]

Zoo heev zooheev PebMoob naj

[@kwvtxhiajhmoob]

Nice Hmong

[@kayredeemed116]

How do they learn English? It would be good to know that whoever is organizing this would offer more skills for them. It would benefit the hmoob if they were earning skills to help bring income to their families and help with school. I wonder if they would be tempted to leave their villages for space and freedom. Honestly, they deserve better this its like a slap in the face. I am positive these hmoob folks want improvement for their village homes,and to be moving forward like the city. Are they getting paid for all of this?

[@SeeHang]

I’m a Hmong American. From what my older brothers and family have said there were teachers who have been reaching out to these communities since the 1960’s i believe. The language we speak was transcribed less than 100 years and we have no written books. We have ties to the Miao Chinese but there isn’t that much documented history about it. Escaping 2 genocides as a people its safe to say that we’re a very displaced people who have strong ties in first world and 3rd world countries quite regularly.

[@TheBvmnv]

💘💘

[@Tousanx]

The only spoken Hmong is the song at the end

[@nongchouaher805]

IS good

[@nenkuthao5534]

Isn't cute how they speak English?

[@kayingthao5072]

This is good and bad. Good because they are providing economic opportunities for these people but bad because eventually the presence of tourist will change the culture. I hope PATA knows that these people will change with high exposure to the western world. Hope you don’t continue to expect them to remain the same as time goes on.... otherwise they will only be putting on a show and it won’t be the real them anymore... they should not be expected to be the same to provide the experience that tourists wants. These are real people like me and you living in a changing world.

[@ytnraugmoosmauj]

Oh hmong so good an English

[@trandinhtruong3628]

Làm về người mông bằng tiếng Anh quá hay

[@ScorpiusTheScorpin]

WE ARE NOT NOVALTIES!

[@moneymike2092]

hope that these white folks helping the hmong villagers are not holding the bad part of having tourism and higher education comes at a price....

[@อรณีแซ่ว้าน]

😍😍😍

[@touxiong519]

This is sad

[@nkaujhmoobvaj5887]

OK

[@jamalhamdaui670]

I Will never forget a hmong man killed Georges floyd,

[@vanglee6529]

Why you called yourself black hmong( the real you Are only hmong) koj tsuas yog ib tug Hmoob xwb nad lawv e.

[@abcai754]

we called that we are black hmong that is earsier for other people to understand. sometimes we said that we are Hmong people asked(you are the people who shaved hair?) and just because our traditional clothes it is looks black.. with the Indigo.. so that is black... ua tsaug rau koj lub sij hawm los saib peb thiab os tus phooj yws...!

[@pocpc1788]

Just like Hmong white and green

[@mryang3644]

Real Hmong stood with Gen Vang Pao... Real Truth.. Ask them, they will say No.

[@lifeyang2]

That is like comparing apples and oranges. You can't. They are Vietnamese Hmong. They are not the Laos, Thai, and American Hmong.

[@dejakixiong9142]

Stop living in the 20th Century. All of that is over, it's time to love one and another.

[@soupsoua]

When the migration out of China began in the 1800s, Hmong already settled into Vietnam way before the war. I don’t know why some Hmong Americans are so silly to think their narrative is the “only” narrative for Hmong people. There are 5 million of us give or take around the world, and those who are here in the states are but a drop in the bucket.

[@serchsource8744]

You still waaay behind....its all trashed!!
