Hmong Culture & History / Are you from cali? Kev ntseeg leej niam community Questions

« on: June 03, 2020, 06:02:39 PM »

I was browsing YouTube on meanings of yaj ceeb and yeeb ceeb. I came across a video from yajsuabzoshmoo vntuj. One thing led to another and now I have questions about this recent 2016 nonprofit organization called kev ntseeg leej niam community.

Is it a cult or a spiritual organization?
Who does leej niam refer to? Mother nature or a Hmong/ Miao goddess? Theres an emphasis in caring for nature.
There's a statue erected and they're going to build a temple so who is this person based off of? The picture is on the website provided below.

Who is this, NIAM NTUJ PLAWV YIS FAI? It's on the guide star page and I am assuming it is the mother they are referring to. They also have their own writing system.

This is their wevsite:

I also found their mission and more info on this guide star page:

If anybody lives in Cali and specifically from Oroville that has more info about this org, can you please share more info to me? Honestly, I'm just curious. I just cant seem to find more info on it and am hoping any local peeps can help me out
 Thanks.

Hmong Culture & History / Can someone share the story of Yang'asha?

« on: June 13, 2019, 03:06:06 PM »

I remembered the Miao goddess of beauty statue that went up a couple years ago and thought I do more research on this historical Miao figure.

Supposedly Yang'asha symbolizes life and love and the Miao people in Jianhe county knows the story (http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0417/c90000-9203828.html).
 I tried searching up her story and the history but cannot find it anywhere. Either that or it is in Chinese and I don't read or speak Chinese.

If anyone knows the story, can you please share? Very curious right now to how she became a symbol of life and love and how/why she is  a Miao goddess of beauty.
