The Hmong and the CIA

The Hmong and the CIA: An Ambiguously 'Secret' Alliance in Laos with Implications for Minnesota. During the Vietnam War, the CIA carried out a decade-long secret war in neighboring Laos, a supposedly neutral country. Professor Mai Na M. Lee, from the University of MN, talks about this conflict and explains its consequences for the Hmong who suffered massive casualties for their population and were eventually exiled to the west after Communist victory in 1975.

Her research of hmong culture and history iis great but her experience of Hmong culture is not professional and accurate. She will need to do more research of the Hmong language and funeral activity.
