Hmong Cultural Tour
Explore themes in Hmong culture, as observed by students in 2002-03, and find patterns among such basic expressions as foodways, crafts, music, games, and healing practices. Sewing and cooking and playing the Qeej, for example, are deeply important in every Hmong community.
Delve further, and you will uncover even deeper themes. With the Randall students, you will learn that “Everything is Spiritual,” appreciate the challenge (especially for Hmong youth) of “Living in Two Worlds,” and that the “Journey Back to Laos” occurs in memory, traditions, travel, and in funeral ceremonies.
