Description:
The following paper takes a look at post-Vietnam War urbanization and assimilation of the Hmong in Laos into Lao culture and society. The authors contest that the Hmong in Laos are undergoing rapid urbanization, aided by the aggressive relocation policies of the Lao government. Forced contact with the Lao has obliged the Hmong to adapt aspects of Lao culture, resulting in social and cultural upheavals.

Description:
From the late 1950s through the early 1970s, the Vietnam War affected nearly the entire Hmong
population in Laos. Many people had to depart their homes on a moment’s notice leaving
everything behind. They hid in the jungles and stayed alive by eating plants, berries, and roots.
My parents survived this traumatic experience, eventually making their way into the refugee
camps in Thailand, and finally bringing our family to the U.S.A. During my research I
interviewed people about the Hmong culture and our traditions. With the information collected, I
wrote an autobiography and illustrated pictures to document this significant chronicle. I have a
responsibility to search for rich experiences within the Hmong community and share them with
students and community members to honor our history.

Description:
The objective of this project is to study the generation gap between Hmong parents
and their children. A series of oral history interviews was conducted on the lives of
Hmong adolescents, adults, and elders in the La Crosse community. Focusing on
family life, education, religion, and other intergenerational topics, this research has
revealed the existence of a significant generational gap between Hmong youth and
their parents. The core issue dividing the generations is the conflict between maintaining
traditional Hmong culture versus Americanization.
