The most independent and agressive of tribes.
The Hmong are characterised by a desire to be left alone, to be independent. They will fight for space, for their future if they think it is threatened. In Thailand they sided with the communists because they were promised freedom; in Laos they sided with the anti-communist forces because communism threatened their culture. They are the most nomadic of the tribes, villages splitting and migrating to new areas to gain independence. Migrants to the USA have continued this mobility constantly moving to seek out new opportunities. Wherever they are they keep their traditions and as with all the other groups the most important is the New Year ceremony held at the end of the agricultural cycle, which usually coincides with the Christian Christmas or the new calendar year
