Hmong immigration

Hmong immigration primarily occurred after the Vietnam War, when many Hmong people, who had allied with the U.S. during the conflict, faced persecution in Laos. Seeking safety and freedom, they sought refuge in countries like the United States, France, and Australia. The process involved resettlement, often in difficult circumstances, with communities working to rebuild their lives, preserve their culture, and adapt to new environments. Over time, Hmong immigrants have contributed significantly to their new communities through cultural preservation, entrepreneurship, and public service, despite challenges related to language, integration, and recognition.
