The Miao ancestors flourished along the Yellow River of present-day Shandong and Henan Province, contributing to the primitive, but highly advance Dawenkou civilization.
5000 years ago, the Miao ancestors were under the leadership of Chiyou, aka Txivyawg. Their tribe was known as 九里, or Kuj Cuab Cuaj Hlig Ntuj, known as the Nine Li kins of heaven.
After the end of Chiyou, the Miao people established the three Miao kingoms, 三苗 known as San Miao or Vaj Peb Hmoob along the region of the Yangtze River.
After the collapsed of Zhou kingdom, the Miao people seized many lost territories and established the 楚 Chu state during the Spring and Autumn Period / Warring States. This time was known as the prosperous period for the Miao ancestors.
The Miao ancestors suffered greatly and no longer united after the end of Chu. The Miao people were implemented with heavy taxes and cruel policies, and continued to endure hardship until the end of Qing dynasty.
Fate has caused our separation,
We are distant physically and geographically,
But, our hearts will always unite our love.

Until then... I think you're on the side of the winning argument. Odds are very slim of any such fantasy. The PLA will crush any Hmong/Miao uprisings and we'll only lose more people that we can't afford to lose. We need to preserve our ethnic identity first and foremost, and then work on improving ourselves to earn our rights for self-determination. Even if we were suddenly granted independence on a remote island in the Pacific, it'll probably turn into a bloody civil war.

I'm not advocating an uprising. I'm saying that a Hmong/Miao nation may exist in the future, if China ever disintegrated politically. However, we first will need to survive long enough (ethnically) and not become assimilated to our host nations in order to live to see that day. And when it happens, hopefully, we would have had enough time to improve ourselves and build a pool of experienced leaders, politicians, military strategists, scientists, businessmen, etc. to build a nation.

Miao reclaiming China? That could happen, actually, but the stars have to align properly first. Look at what happened when the Manchu came to power and overthrew the Ming dynasty! You strike during political upheaval. But for this to even happen, Hmong/Miao need to UNITE first. We don't even have experienced politicians and leaders, let alone military strategists. If we can't even deal with having a single New Year event in Fresno (there were two), how can we ever unite politically?

In Chinese's traditional writing, 苗, means Miao. Miao means barbarians, and that is how we Hmong are called by the Chinese today and the past.

苗族人民是有史以来第一个在现在的所谓中国内地居住。许多世纪以前,苗族人吵架中,损失的战争。我们的祖先是蚩尤的领导者,他是一个备受尊敬的人。他是苗族和苗族是他。

흐몽어 사람들은 지금까지 중국 본토를 부르는지 살았을 가장 먼저 하나 있었다. 많은 세기 전, 흐몽어 사람들이 전쟁에 중국어, 상실과 싸웠다. 우리의 조상 리더 Chiyou이며, 그는 존경받는 사람이었습니다. 그는 흐몽어이며, 흐몽어 그를입니다.
