That is correct. I myself been wondering about that alot also.  One striking thing was the "tswm tshav".  Very similar indeed.  If you know more do share it to all of us.

i too been thinking of that native americans and hmong share similar things..i watched some native americans rituals and it looks similar to what old traditional hmong people do it to with just little tweaks to it like the stuff they use.

According to the Land-Bridge theory of how the first Americans came to the Americas, millions of years ago Native Americans did come across the Bering Strait from Asia.

Nice chicken Reporter, I just noticed that picture 

Anyway Hmongs and Native Americans are also similar because we name ourselves after mother nature, earth, plants and animals too.

The strangest thing is... one my my aunty who is a shaman, whenever she ua neeg or hu plig, her voice sounds very much like the chants of native americans.

Well ofcourse I have no Native American friends, So I can't do any sort of interviews. Thought I would love to share our customs with each other. Thought there is something we don't have in common...



Native America = Culture Dance



Hmong = No dance

I have a Native American friend and also some acquaintances.  They're from the Ojibewa tribe.  Our cultures do have some similarities, yet still very uniquely different.

*surprise!    ..  so by these assumptions ... we are also 'related' to the Jews too??  lmao

Kaparot (Hebrew: כפרות‎, "atonements"; Ashkenazi pronunciation, Kapparos) is a disputed ancient Jewish ritual to save oneself from a harsh Heavenly decree by it being effected on another object. Vegetables, fish, money, and other objects have been used throughout the centuries, and this is done on the eve of Yom Kippur. The service is performed by grasping the object and moving it around one's head three times, symbolically transferring one's sins to the object. The object is then slaughtered or donated to the poor, preferably eaten at the pre-Yom Kippur feast.[1] If one is using a chicken, preferably, a man should use a rooster, and a woman should use a hen for the ritual.

In modern times, Kapparos is performed in the traditional form mostly in Haredi communities. Members of other communities perform it with charity money substituted for the chicken, swung over one's head in similar fashion. There is an ancient and little known tradition of Egyptian Jewry to use plant life.[2] Other Orthodox Jews simply prefer to not participate in the custom.

The ritual is preceded by the reading of Psalms 107:17-20 and Job 33:23-24.

As the object is swung about the head, the following paragraph is traditionally recited three times:

This is my exchange, this is my substitute, this is my atonement. (This rooster (hen) will go to its death / This money will go to charity), while I will enter and proceed to a good long life and to peace.[3]
