The podcast discusses the history of the Hmong people and their migration to the United States, particularly to Minnesota. The Hmong originated in southern China and were forced to migrate to places like Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, the Hmong were allies with American soldiers and helped fight against the communists. However, after the US left South Vietnam, the Hmong were persecuted by the winning communist governments of Laos and Vietnam. Many Hmong fled to the US as refugees, and over the past 37 years, they have adapted and developed in their new home. Hmong Americans are now successful in education and the workforce, and many have started their own businesses. The podcast highlights the Hmong culture and the importance of understanding their history and contributions to American society.
