Is anyone worried that the Hmong culture will lose its true essence because no one is documenting its language, fashion, food, history, etc.? We only have pieces of things and a lot of times Hmong will only believe what they want to believe. I see a lot of assimilated Hmong who still believe their last name's better than others who believe they follow the culture to a T who are also educated and do a lot of American things. But, that's not the true nature of the Hmong culture. It is an evolutionized one. A better one, I might add. But, the true essence of it is truly lost when you become modernized. Where would my kids find the true Hmong if they were interested in researching it sometime in their adult lives? Will it not exist?
