Time to go or Time to Stay
At camps you will find refugees must leave their homes or where their set up to live that they need to leave. Then there's a wedding taking place you'll see that the men arrange the marriages and the women get somewhat of a say in it.

Leaving the Camps
It's very hard for people from camps to come to America cause first of all they need permission and second they need to choose if they want to leave their homes or not. Lastly,families that can't come over have to stay in villages or refugee camps in Laos.

An Unknown Land
In 1990, 100,000 Hmong people entered the U.S. Many did not know where the U.S. was even located.
Culture Shock
As Hmong people came over they soon figured out that their farming skills were no use. Also, many Hmong people did not know how to drive a car.

The Older Hmong Struggle
Every elder that came over has that ugly memory of the war that made them leave their homes. Many kids were born in jungles or camps. Everything was new to Hmong people when they came to America. Many Americans helped show how everything works in their new home.

New Roles
The women do not know what to do for their roles in the family. But many men were able to keep their traditional roles.

Lost in America
Many have adapted well and some continue to struggle. Many of the elders feel lost and useless cause they don't have as strong of a role as they did back in Laos.
