Singing Tribe Girls

Whilst trekking in Sapa, Vietnam, I got chatting to some of the tribe girls. I sang them a song in Irish and they returned the favour by singing a song back to me.

They're the most persecuted people in SE Asia. Like the basques in Spain, they just want a homeland of their own but are surrounded by violent peoples-Thais, Viets, Hans...

I think it's cool that Hmong wear the necklace "lub xauv"  it's apart of our history and its great how it shows we are resilient people by making beautiful of something that was meant to oppress us. No better revenge than to make good of something meant to hurt us.

@LightofBankai bro, you are right. Lock the head to save your life. Take off and the Han will slash your throat--very true to the men at that time. Not many Hmong today know so they just keep telling their kids to wear it.

wow! beautiful children, and beautiful people

just for info, that silver necklace around their neck, hmong people call it lub xauv, when translated to english literally means a lock. even though i'm hmong i don't understand why we would wear something that reminds us of when the chinese use to lock our necks as slaves.
