They're not shamens, he's read too much stupid National Geographics and made assumption that everything is as he assumes. If you looked at their clothing, it has that traditional and classic chinese cheung sam... the white cheung sam... and then the grain farming as well. Those are traditional "grain" people... Even when you said the word "miao", sounds like 苗. And then... the gong... this is what the local mayor would do, to raise people... and the ancestral worship.. even my family did that when we were in HK as well. Before the hakka (this cannot be classified as a tribe, the word ought to mean "migrant"... "guest people".... literally means migrant, cos they are from out of this current village, an outsider).... moved in, killed the people off, took their villages, fought over everything.. and then mostly died. The ones left, would literally be forced to remarry.. you know how the story goes... The end of that really. Communists should really mean "outsider or outside of the family"... Those people literally just separated from their own families, and created new ones. Well.. if you stayed , but documented an actual family tree. Then is this a bad thing? No. Cos that is what the Japanese did for themselves, same with the South Koreans as well... Rather than to invade another village.

@changmouapride9048 : What do you mean by this ? A lot of Hmong fought for the communists' party in Laos and Vietnam ?.... I don't understand.

@jigo9377 : Yes.. there is a lot written about the "hmong"... that is because.. you have used different people's languages to denote the SAME set of people. If you trace these people's DNAs... then you will find your answer.. whether you are related to certain people OR not... Cos you will find that, they will be related. Because they look like my grandmother too.. I think the South... were migrants.. of the Huaxia. 華夏... I won't use the English alphabet and continue to overlap the different European language's ping yums... This link tells a lot more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miao_people

The more I watch online media, the more I do not think that was a "shamen"... in fact, I think that he was an Imperial diplomat/administrator.....The people who helped deal with any issues. And whatever went on in the sea/coastal areas.. for shipping.. in Fuijian, or Shanghai... or HK.. they have nothing to do with these villagers.. and they stayed in their lives as it is, without being ruined or modernised... Even if you go to Japan.. many places are like that too !!! Even if you come to the UK, OR the US... they are the same ! Buildings are preserved like hundreds of years. Almost like 500 to 600 years ! Some castles can go back even further than that in Europe...

@YangSword9x : I am basing it on actual DNA testing and random samplings which was done in recent years.. So... and of course, the way that you define history.. is indeed to gather the evidences. The facts. And not the "opinions" or the "I guessed what happened"... It is the absolute truth which happened. And even if we guess.. then there is a gap for "misinterpretation" too...

@YangSword9x : I do take a pinch of salt of how these documentaries are structured... which is from the viewpoint of the Americans. Which is "also based on from their angle, "at that time"..."... So if there are clarifications... and whatever... then that should and must be actually.. stated as well. Would love to read those comments or original documents, if there were any and also evidences as well. This is based on their possible translation at that time.

So... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miao_people Do not let others erode your identity. Just know who you are...
