HMONG MUSEUM
Hmong Museum is a new start-up 501(c)3 cultural organization in the Twin Cities established in 2013.

As a museum without walls, the organization focuses on bringing rich cultural programming to community spaces. By 2020 the Hmong Museum plans to have a space and begin collecting Hmong art and objects.
Hmong Chronicles is a project aimed at reviving Hmong oral traditions through intergenerational collaboration with Hmong elders and Hmong American artists.

The original name for our clan is Qhua (Khuat) in Hmong Chinese. There were twelves original families. Unfortunately, the twelves original family names have nothing to do with the folk story. Today last names such as Lor, Yang, Vang, Her, Cha, Vue and etc... all were placed upon us by the Han Chinese (Suav). This is where the word "Xeem" came from. Han people use 'xing' aka xeem to identify family clan. Hmong from Yunnan, China continue to use Khuat/Qhua.. such as Khuat Hmaot, Khuat Tshib, Khuat Vus, Khuat Dluag.... these are our original surnames. Please do extensive research before making claims.

tshav ntuj kaj nrig can you explain more extensively then since you know? The rest of us would be happy to know. And regardless of what people believe in diff parts of the world our beliefs today should still be documented as they are.

Isn't qhua/khuat a vietnamese name? Hmoob use dong drum like muong in Vietnam too. I guess hmoob came from Vietnam? The Chinese calling hmoob barbaric tribes and fighting them refers to nanman and baiyue people as miao so they must be the same?Chinese fought baiyue and nanman for long timr. Ahmao miao people use khuat too. Maybe modern hmoob came from the outer most part of yunnan plains where ahmao people are?
Thank you so much for this video! My mother often retold a similar version of this story to me as a child, but as she has gotten older she doesn't recall much of it. Listening to this brings back the memories of my childhood!
We all just ignore the grandma with the sunglasses in the thumbnail?

Just to be clear the 18 clans are the ones who migrated from China to southeast Asia. There are more than just 18 clans for Hmong/Miao people.
Everybody has they own story of the 18 clans lol no one really has the facts written in literatures. But thru folklore and war tales
There’s more than 18. Only 18 xeem in America
That place Is at Phalen Lake 😂❤️
This story kind of related to the Noah time
Wait. Hawj clan where?

NICE STORY BUT HOW ABOUT THE XIONG...WHERE N HOW THE XIONG EXIST...CON'MON
So this is the history of the Hmong people resulting from an incestuous relationship? Geez !!
People this is a folk tales, stop with the childish about them being sibling. The point is where each clan "came " about/from. Guess the Moua are fatty they fed the pigs LoL.
wtf, it's just the bible story
No. Xeem is a Chinese word. Our Xeem (Xing) are Han Chinese (Suav). This folk story is wrong. The story of the great flood has nothing to do with Xing (Xeem).

Each people have their god that saved their race during the flood, hence different religions. Duh! Lol
This is just a disgusting story of us hmong people! You're telling me the brother set up the sister just to create is all clans? Lmfao that's even worse than marrying someone with the same last name but funny thing is you're not even blood related! Lmfao wow....this is degrading!
