Introduction to The Hmong and The Karen

All the information that I have given here is collected from various resources mostly from the internet, and even from my own experience, my family and friends as well. I have tried hard to work on this interesting topic with the purpose of bringing the awareness about the two ethics to us. I hope this information could bring to my readers a better understanding of the Hmong and the Karen.

Firstly, I would like to give a brief background on the two ethics’ history. In order to understand them better, we should take a look at the brief history of each of the following.

It should be stated here that the Hmong and Karen do not share the same history. I would prefer to say that The Hmong history has something to do with Hebrew, Mongolia Chinese and Laos. At the same time the Karen history has something to do with Murmur.

Let’s look at the brief history of the Hmong and the Karen simultaneously.

The Hmong are still unclear of their past and lack informational links to find their history, most of our history were a part of other history i.e. Chinese, Mongolia and Hebrew.

Many scholars have suggested about the Hmong history in many ways such as;

A)The Hmong was first in China.

B) The Hmong is one of the Lost Tribes of the Hebrew.

C) Mongolia was the place from where Hmongs came from.

All these theories are not fully accepted, they are just the possible suggestions of the history suggested by the Hmong scholars and other European linguists. Whether it is true or not, that is the mystery of the Hmong history.

The Hmong people are to be found today in the mountains of China, Laos, Myanmar (Burma) , Thailand , The United State of America , France and Australia.

The Karen, who call themselves as “Pwakin-nyaw “ and who are known as Kariang in Thai.

The Karen of Burma believes to have begun their first migration into South-east Asia as early as 1128 B.C. Again we do not know about their history clearly too, because there was no proof related to this. So, I will not present what had been happened in the past, I simply lead you to what had happened according to the record.

The Karen people gained their independence from Burma in 1948 and live in their own county of Kawthoolei.

A war broke out a year later that resulted in ongoing fighting until today where the Myanmar military raid, persecute and burn down Karen homes and villages.

Due to many political problems in Burma, thousands of Karen has left there for Sweden, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.

Just like the Hmong people that not only can be found in China, Laos, Myanmar (Burma) , Thailand , but also in The United State of America , France and Australia. This migration was due to the war in Vietnam in 1975

Now we shall come to the first conclusion on the similarity between the Hmong and the Karen that they also live all over the world as other ethics.
