Iu Mienh descendants have dated back its migration from America, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and China. It amazes me how we've all assimilated to which country we've settled in. At the end of this video, I couldn't help it, but cry. The chanting has been rooted within our culture no matter which country we live in. It reminded me of my grandmother. She would long for her home country in Laos. She played her little cassette player with chanting all night. It was the last thing I'd hear every night before falling asleep as a kid. To the people who produced this video to the ppl who helped these villagers, you are amazing people and have the biggest heart. Thank you for allowing them to be successful and guiding them.
Wow, just watched it for the very first time. I am also an Iu-Mienh (Dao) from Laos. Could you give me a permission to use some footages of this movie in my music video to help you spread the word?
Those are my people because of all the wars we separate so much I barely know my own culture. I just know what my great grandmother had told me. This is amazing for me to see. In every country our people are know in different names. Red doa in Vietnam. Yao in china. Iu Mien in the U.S. and laos
Thank you so much to those whose volunteer from Capilano University and to all whose help the indigenous folks improve their way of life. From Kinhcare.
