On the subject of cultures, specifically with the Hmong people, I actually have this flower cloth, is what it's called, or the story cloth, that tells the story of the Hmong people, and it's an important part of their culture because they originally lived up in Laos, and then when the Vietnam War happened, they fought with America, and they fought against Laos and Vietnam, and then we agreed to bring a lot of them back to America, but following the war, we weren't very prompt about bringing them back, and we left a lot of them there, and they were forced to flee from Vietcong, and to escape Laos, and to cross the Mekong River, which is depicted here, and to come to Thailand for freedom, where a lot of them lived in refugee camps, and then eventually were able to go all over the world, and that's why a lot of them ended up in the States.
