About:Miao Nationality

Hello, Ms.Evelyn(China), I am Hmong in USA, I am glad that I found this Miao Nationality command in internet. I am not sure you are Hmong/Miao or Chinese, but your command seem to make more sense than any other commands. I have one question for you, I hope you don't mind to answer it for me.

The question is when we Hmong in USA talk to the reporters or other people, we said we are Hmong people, how about our Miao in China? Do you said we are Miao people? or Do you said we are Hmong people too?

Glad to receive your comment here. I'm a Han people. There are 56 ethnic groups in China. Han is just the majority. I found some information of Miao and Hmong on the web. The web says the Miao people we often mention is actually the Hmong people. Because of language differences, Chinese mandarin calls them Miao. However, the Miao language pronounces it as Hmong. Miao people has a very long history. It's said that their ancestor is Chi You, who was defeated by Emperor Huangdi more than 4000 years ago. Long long ago, the Miao tribe drifted from place to place owing to fights and many other reasons.
