The clothes are similar to most Hmong/Miao styles no doubt but that can be duplicated (learned) much like how Western Hmong adopted Western fashion etc. I have not read (researched) much yet on the Ge Mong group, as I have not come across much about them. What I do know is that their "origin folklore" is different from Hmong/Miao. Theirs is that of a "bamboo diety or descendant". Hmong/Miao of course is from "flooding of the world and a bro and sister". Group in the vid looks more Laos/Mien imo.
Well, they call themselves Ge Mong. It just like how we are Hmong and some of us do not want to be called as Miao. the Hmu and Kanao called them Gedou. they are classified as part of the Miao group. they speak a dialect very similar to Chuanqiandian, the dialect of our.
hey "niamtxiv" i was wondering did we hmong thao back then were living to the far west..and took over some territories longtime ago..i dont understand why they have hitory of that in any of miao history..
This song is kinda spooky. It's like you can almost understand what they are saying. But oh well. But I don't think they consider themselves Miao. But it's okay, they have their reasons to why they wont accept that name. Like the issues and conflicts that led many Western Hmongs/Mongs to ignore/deny that they belong in a bigger group of people known as Miao.

Sad Indeed! Just like the Green/Black Hmong in American wants to be call Mong, instead of Hmong.

so what are they called if they don't claim to be Hmong/Miao? are they in a different classification in China?

The Gejia called actually call themselves GE MONG. Yes, they are part of the Chuanqiandian branch.

The Gejia are awesome. This song is cool. They are part of the Hmong Family, just look at their clothes especially the cloth behind their back.
