The Hmong are an ethnic group that traditionally lives in isolated mountain villages throughout Southeast Asia. Roughly 260,000 Hmong are currently living in the United States since being refuged and resettled after the Vietnam War, where the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had sought the Hmong's help in the Secret War in Laos.
