What do you think about HMONG in the next 1,000 years.
(February 25, 2000)

The Hmong people have been here for about 20 years so far and look at what we accomplish so far. With the modern and ever so changing world, mankind will go places in the next one thousands years. Minorities play a major role in the shaping and molding of the economy, as well as the society in American; making the outlook for Hmong optimistic. I see there is no doubt that we will grow into mainstream and have our younger generations grow up to be political leaders, surgeons, Hollywood stars, and so on and so on. Here are some thoughts that other would like to share to you about the accomplishments of Hmong people in the next 1,000 years.

In the previous decades, the Hmongs have gone through many experiences, both good and bad. Like the quote, "Boats are not made to wade at shore, but to sail at sea." -some_grl

Hmong will accomplish anything that they will put their mind into. I feel we should though be more open-minded and see other factors too besides sticking with the whole "Hmong Tradition" thing. We will accomplish more if we just let others help instead of being the al-mighty and pushing others out of our paths." -Anonymous

Kuv xav hais tias peb hmoob lub neej yuav muaj meejmom li luag lwm haiv neeg thiab. Peb yuav ua tau li cov neeg ib ncig ntawm peb qhov chaw nyob. Qhov uas kuv xav tau mas peb hmoob yuav muaj tej kev li kev cai yuav tsis muaj lawm. Tsuas yog kev npau sauv thiab lawm. Tsuas yog kev npau sauv thiab dabneeg lawn xwb. Qhov zoo, kuv xav hais tias peb hmoob yuav txaj xav me nsis. -Anonymous

But for the population, modernization may be too swift leaving behind & forgetting their heritage. -Janny Yang

We were all told by our parents and elders not to diminish out culture, but to learn and implement the old ways of the culture or our generation and the generations to come will not have a look to their Hmong heritage. -Paahers

They should all respect each other instead of killing each other….I don't even know what I'm saying but I'm hoping to see changes. -ghettohoodrat842

I believe that if the Hmong youths can collaborate together to find peace and unity within their own kinds, then in the next millennium, the Hmong people will get father in life! There are many non-hmongs out there that say that we can't make anything of ourselves and I this that is totally wrong. So go out there and show them, that we are better than they are. -Yoshi Yang

Unless we change, we won't climb up the ladder too much in the next thousands years… -Anonymous

We are Hmong and we must live as Hmong -Anonymous

New Hmong stars will truly be born, and I do mean famous stars. -Anonymous
