Description
Introduction The Hmong are some of the newest refugees who have settled in the United States. The majority came to the United States after the end of the Vietnam War. The U.S. Census of 2000 showed that there were 169,428 Hmong living all over the United States but the three states that had the highest concentrations were California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. In 2000, there were 65,095 Hmong living in California, 41,800 in Minnesota, and 33,791 in Wisconsin (UW Eau Claire, 2000; Hmong National Development and Hmong Cultural Center, 2004: UW Extension, 2004). However, some Hmong scholars and community leaders have suggested that the U.S Census of 2000 undercounted the Hmong population. The correct population could actually be around 300,000 (Lemoine, 2006).
