Voices From The Mountain - by Jai Saeliew

The Iu-Mienh, known as "Mien" in the United States, is an ethnic minority group of the People's Republic of China. The Mien are mostly known as the "Yao" in China and the rest of Asia. The history of the Mien people dates back as far as 2697 BCE. Today, the Mien live in the United States, People's Republic of China, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Burma and elsewhere.

Does anybody know who sings the song towards the end of the video? Is it downloaded here on youtube?

Has any of the Mien veterans received any medal from the U.S.?

To be honest, I didn't even know where the Mien originated, but it's clear now through careful study that they came from China. I have a girlfriend who is Mien and thank her for opening my eyes including with the help of this video.
