Flower Hmong
I came across this adorable Hmong toddler in a traditional outfit at a small village in Laos. She was just irresistibly photogenic. The Hmong people are distinct from the Lao people, with their own language, culture, and traditions. They are divided into various tribes based on the color and details of their dress. This little girl is probably a Flower Hmong based on her colorful dress. The Hmongs originated from China but have spread into various parts of SE Asia due to centuries of persecution from the Chinese. As a direct result of the Vietnam war, when some of the Hmongs fought on the side of the US, there are now large Hmong communities in California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
