Blow Through a Chicken's Wing

[CrazyNative4]

this is cool

[VeeAmTea]

cool, i'm a "Thoj Tsuab Qaib" :)

our family does that at funerals too

[TVirus916]

I didn't know much about this clan until I married one 6 years ago. My wife is also a Thoj Tshuab Qaib from Atwater, CA. When my wife's grandma passed away years go we did this at the Merced, CA funeral home. The roster didn't croak that loud. But before I married my wife, when her grandpa passed away the roster did croak really loud even when it was strangled as one of the uncles blow through a bamboo from the chicken's armpit. This Thao Clan is really unique as no other clan does this.

I havent seen the chicken wing thing done before, iono but my grandma says different clans have different traditions... :) ....the more u know the more you will appreicate and value this culture/tradition&belief .....

[hmongboy9161]

[FUdirtbag]

[lindalor22]

[MrMarines]

[icyprincess09]

[micrheu]

Buffalo Wild Wings anyone?

Anyone?  Hellooooo! Anyone?

[micrheu]

Buffalo Wild Wings, anyone?

[micrheu]

Still a bunch of hokus pokus. Chicken wings? Go to BWW...it's better there. LOL

[niamtxiv]

You little lost piggy. Do you understand that you're not a deer? Do you not understand that you're a little piggy that cries oink oink at night for mommy?

What's today? Did you got molested?

[micrheu]

Ma-Pa, why all the angst again? Are you going to preach and teach here too?

May I? "oink oink" How was that? LOL

[micrheu]

Ma-Pa, are you on the molestation thing too? That's funny. Your all-knowing and self-touting of being some pseudo-educator just got flushed down the crapper.

What will you ever do now? (Molested...hilarious)

[micrheu]

I know I'm not a deer. Holy crap, what other sorcery and teachings are you leading down into now?

BTW, veniso (deer) is awesome. I get mine processed and smoked, and sprinkle on some good hmong pepper mix on and "BAM!" - unbelievable flavor. Of course, a fresh serving of sticky rice too. Mmm mmm good. :D

[micrheu]

Speaking of piggy, do you still boil the crap out of pork in your household? Still do the mustard greens too? I think someone mentioned that to you and you threw a hissy fit. That was funny, Ma-Pa.

[micrheu]

Hey, BWW has some of the best wings around. Do you mingle with May-Ka's, or are you deafly afraid of them like most hmongs. Don't trust them white folks, Ma-Pa!

[micrheu]

Ma-Pa, what are your thoughts on BWW? Good products? Good service?

[micrheu]

Hokus Pokus.

[TwixiwT]

Please take these Hmong funeral videos off. It is not safe to listen to these videos. If you did not know before hand, turn off all the sounds. Or do not watch it at all. I personally got yelled at for listening to something similar by accident.

[jrockisthebest]

i understand that us hmong aren't supposed to watch these. but now days people both young and old are taking clips from funeral homes. mostly to educate, or have a better understanding of funerals (like americans who are watching this)

[TwixiwT]

Yeah educate, but through a way that is wrong. If you want to be educated, ask one of your elders to let them teach you personally. Idiots these days.

[jrockisthebest]

your trying to say is don't educate anyone by watching this. and by idiot your saying i'm an idiot 2. all i just have to say is how long have you been studying shamanism? or hmong culture. I have been studying from my elders/ hmong teachers since i was in 6th grade and still studying today. who cares what people put on youtube, no matter funerals or rituals who gives a crap everything is on youtube today. dont flip out at what i said, you might. and please read what i posted be4 more carefully

[TwixiwT]

Come back when your grammar is correct and I'll give you a chance of trying to lay out a point. As of now, you're horrible at what you're trying to say.

[xher89]

interesting facts...nv heard of blowing chicken wings before....i think i should ask my parents...

[LyricalLordz]

Hey, you're not supposed to watch this kind of movie in the house! Only at Hmong Funerals!!

[KuvHmoobNas]

omg you blew it for me, now i'm freaked out lol. i think u can watch it without sound?

[LyricalLordz]

You can watch it, but turn off all sounds.

[KayKrazie]

omg, me too, im like literally scare and the house is dark too. better tell my sis to turn on the lights.

[KayKrazie]

im so scare now yall, i don't practice shamanism but hmong culture is so frigin scary, im like shaking right now man.............im hmong by the way, and man......why is our culture so SCARY????!!!!

[jrockisthebest]

its not that scary its sad

[KayKrazie]

how is it sad?????

[jrockisthebest]

you know the people crying, the donations, not to mention the love these people are showing

[Lerismaster]

omfg did you guys listen to the qeej and nruas your not suppose to if you are not dead

[cheekySEEKy]

i've never really been to a hmong funeral, only hmong christian funerals. this is interesting. i wanted to see more. the chicken wing thing is something i've never heard or seen before.. wow, you can actually do that?

[KuvHmoobNas]

I hear that the guy blowing the flute isn't suppose to look at where the dead corpse is when he's playing the flute. He's going to see something he won't like if he looks...

[TwixiwT]

That is true.

[KayKrazie]

that so scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Azian2008]

I agree, do not show this video anywhere....just the sound of the ceremony is scary enough for me, man...

[TwixiwT]

They shouldn't even be on video in the first place.

[DOitFUNKIE]

wow.this is very interesting.i have never seen or hear anything about blowing in the chicken's wing.

[puki1976]

The way hmong people die is too scary..Who on earth would show such video??

[xeemlauj]

This video is wonderful. The video allows people to observe the Hmong Ancient Tradition of Burial Ritual. You should start learning about your dying culture in America.

[puki1976]

Just so you know I do know my hmong culture! And I don't need to see these kind of video. Hmong have too much going on in life and death. So basically you don't know what your talking about.

[puki1976]

OMG this is scary..I wouldn't recommend people showing this video because it's the way Hmong people die?? It's not acceptable!

[chengkhang]

U DON'T EVEN KNOW HMONG STUFF why?? becuase ur not to taking any videos from the dead body or anything from taht furnal. cause thats our hmong people says.

[mckue]

Thanks for sharing =]

[YangCYV]

damn, why share such a movies.....gosh..dump hmong peeps....

[DOitFUNKIE]

everyone is dumb in their own ways.not EVERY hmong people in this world. at least have some respect for the person that uploaded this video.

[xeemlauj]
