The refugees feeding a nation - BBC News

After the Vietnam War, France relocated a small group of 45 Hmong refugees from Laos to its overseas territory in South America, called French Guiana.
The Hmong people were fleeing persecution from the communists, because they were long-time allies of France and had fought with US forces.
Forty years later, French Guiana is now heavily reliant on the food that these refugees and their descendants grow in farms deep in the Amazon jungle. It’s said they are a true immigration success story, but this happy ending was not always guaranteed.

CHINA IS THE WORSE PLACE TO BE A HMONG.....THE CALL US MIAO THERE.

[@johnnythao]

@@TheHmongcgi Every ethnic group has a different name that identifies them in another language. I mean we call the Han-Chinese "Suav", and that's only almost exclusive to us Hmong-Lao people, because other Hmong people from other Asian countries have their own names and terms they call Han-Chinese people. Also, the term "Miaozu" isn't adherently bad, because the character "苗" is used to explain something like a flower sprouting, which was possibly influenced by our women's colorful clothing. while "族" is the basic's for the word "clan". Unless you're going off on what the Southeast Asian's call us, such "Meo", than yeah, it's a derogatory term, because it's like calling us "Cats", which is often the term the majority of Hmong-Lao people are only familiar with.

Helping the U.S is a sad situation, as an Allie during the Vietnam War in Laos, we almost win the war..but the U.S Congress chose to leave in 1973 by not sending more ammunition and other supplies for the Hmong and General Vang Pao’s Military Forces in Laos. In 1973, The Royalist Lao Government and the Communist Pathet Lao rebels, Left-Wing government signed a peace treaty ceasefire agreement. The Communist lied and tooked over the country in 1975.

12:20 - "I arrived in this country, and I believe that people can see now that I am a respectable elder. Now I'm old. As I age, I conclude that if you are Hmong, be proud to be Hmong in this country." This translation more accurately captures the heart of the elderly man's concluding remark in light of the Hmong's difficult history leading up to and in French Guiana. His peoples' and his resilience in the face of opposition is the reason why they celebrate being Hmong. They not only rebuilt their community from the ground up but also now contribute to French Guiana's overall economy and sustainability. In the Hmong culture, one's community's honor is also one's honor which is why he takes pride in his people and their accomplishments. He is a respectable elder because of his community! Thank you for making this video to give a voice to people not often heard.

We know why and that I think the Hmongs are incredible people with strong survival skills. And support to you means wood planks and metal sheets to build their houses and that was enough for you. So you prefer Missionary help more than the resources the France government offer inside France itself, for instant the psychological help, after all they just arrived from war zone.

I'm glad that the French government offered Hmong people a place to settle after the war, but Placing them onto a French territory is kind of a slap in the face. That's like the US saying to the Hmong "we're gonna put you guys on Puerto Rico because your lifestyle doesn't suit the mainland".

[@northbay4619]

You're wrong. Many Hmong struggle to assimilate in America and live at the poverty line. You think that way because you think the agrarian lifestyle is inferior when in actuality, the Hmong in French Guiana are considered very prosperous. Meanwhile, the younger generation is also educated and fully participate in the modern world.

[@Desi365]

It's none of that. The Hmongs are farmers and farming was needed in Guiana at that time. That was a fuzzy plan from the onset, to be honest, but the Hmongs made it come to life. Kudos to them.

India has a satisfactory railway system and back when it was built, a good one at that. However they had the abilities to obtain the skill to achieve that themselves, if Britain did not interfer or colonise them. India has enough agriculture to satisfy their nation and again could have increased it themselves, without the need of anyone interfering. They had laws in place effective communication that worked without Britain interfering and dividing the country. But let's see why Britain went to India, as you say for trade? At the time of India being colonised, India had a wealth of resources worth £41 Trillion. Imagine the value they would have now! All of which were taken by political moves backed by the army. Let's not get into another separate example of China and the opium war.

(i’m not exactly sure on this part, but:) we then thought, wood, then cut down wood whole. (probably means farm? iono) 2:11 i like that translation, it’s pretty correct. 4:00 They captured my mother and 2 children and sister in law. The reason, that my mom and my sister in law and her children were killed, what was the reason; Because i went to be a soldier, to be a french soldier. You think that you can’t stay anymore. You are the one to take everyone out of laos, and into france, into America. (background info: Because the usa were leaving “lost” the vietnam war, they left behind the native people there who were helping them. Because hmong people helped the other side, they were being prosecuted. The “secret war” to hmong people were about the recruit of us who became soldiers and helped america fight against communists. everyone in laos had to journey and cross the mekong river to flee from laos to thailand. From thailand, there would be camps of these refugees. And because of that, the usa and france (apparently. i thought it was just the us until now) came and took some of the hmong people to their country. Dispersing the hmong people around the US. you could say hmong people are here now because of this. 6:27 when us hmong came, the forest was dark (meaning there was a lot of forest) when us hmong came. made clothes, stayed and slept. Morning, you think that, “you came to this land, is it right to stay or not stay”, but then you think, “you don’t have land or place anymore, nevermind, as long as there’s a place for wife and children to make food and eat, it’s good. When we then came, it was only jungle. 12:20 i think that, i came to this land, others see that i am an elder who has value. Now, i am old, i am old. i think that, “you are hmong, you are happy you are hmong, that you came to this land here france.” these are how i personally translate it, i don’t understand some of his words, but this is more specifically translated.

Hmong people can landscape mountains and forests with their bare hands. I can almost guarantee that we Hmong were the first to cultivate and domesticate rice.

Informative video but horrible Hmong translation, it often omits critical details the Hmong speakers are saying and often times completely misrepresents their words and intentions entirely

It’s sad that they Hmong are not be accepted for France citizens and are denied.

[@Desi365]

Denied what ? And why "not accepted" ? They have started from scratch and seized the opportunity, they are prosperous, now. I really don't get your criticism

The biggest mistake that we have made : we fought for the colonizer instead of fighting for the mother land and independence .

[@niamtxiv]

Not a mistake. The chaos allowed our people to scatter around the world and to participate in the world stage.

[@niamtxiv]

Also, the Hmong did fight for the mother land. It was the last Laotian King that supported the Hmong. Duh
