PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE
AND RECONNECT

The Mong people are recorded in the Bamboo Annals and other ancient texts as northern inhabitants during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. Even after southern groups came to dominate the Yellow River Basin (YRB) during the Han dynasty, many Mong communities remained across the region and throughout the northern plains. Our presence is further documented in historical works such as the Book of Wei, Book of Tang, and Book of Yuan, which describe us as northern peoples who later migrated south.

Today, it is vital that we come together to tell our own story. We must not allow others to define us in ways that diminish, fragment, or erase our identity. Over time, our people have been divided and classified into many different ethnic groups. Now is the time to reconnect, to strengthen our bonds, and to protect the roots of our Mong heritage.

In the wake of the CIA Secret War in Laos and Vietnam, many Mong became part of American history and have since built new lives in the United States. No matter how we are labeled or defined into ... Mongolian, Han, Bulang, Miao, Tu, Chinese, Laotian, American, Korean, Hazara, or otherwise-we reach out to one another as part of a shared legacy. Let us set aside our differences, unite in the spirit of our name, and honor the legacy of our ancestor, Faajtim Huabtais. Our history is deep and enduring, so let us preserve and pass it on to future generations.

    







      
PRESERVE THE MONG NATURE LAW & CULTURE

During our ancestral kingdoms, Mong ancestors created laws to protect the environment, nature, and to seek welfare for the people. We as Mong descendants must continue to do so to improve the quality of humanity and to uphold the nature rights. Our environment is our home and we must protect the mother earth. Let's keep the water clean, preserve our forests and mountains, and purify the air we breath.

OUR DUTIES

Be knowledgeable about our histories/culture and help us to educate others. Let us protect our Mong history, culture, and heritage; and build our historical and cultural monuments together. Our ancestors had made great histories for us, so join hands to preserve them.

  • One important task is to eliminate the derogatory meaning imposed on our Mong name causing distress to many.
  • Let's restore the Mong humanity by bringing awareness about the misconceptions and cultural suppression on the Mong; and educate everyone that the Mong history and culture are not being taught in the public education yet.
  • Join hands to create programs in teaching Mong culture and history to promoting inclusion and recognition of the Mong ethnic. We need change to advance inclusion and equity for the Mong people.

    FOR THE FUTURE

    " Peb npoj Mong dlhau lug nyob ntau chaw. Zoo le cov ntiv taw, ob shaab ceg. Yog tsis muaj ib shaab, yuav moog tsis tau dleb. Tuam tshoj tuam tsis tau cov tim zeej. Peb tsob Mong ncau lug ua ntau ceg. Zoo le cov ntiv teg, ob txhais teg. Yog tsis muaj ib txhais, yuav tuav tsis ruaj. Yog le nub nua, Mong txivyawg Faajtim Huabtais muaj lijlim thoob theej. Lub ntuj rov tig lug txug; Peb npoj Mong yuav thooj shab koom ntsws lawm cuaj lub roob.
