Ha- The Hmong girl of Lao Chai village





Meet Ha. She is one of the Hmong villagers that took us to her village-Lao Chai- and showed us great hospitality in the middle of the mountains. She told us how the Vietnamese suppress the Hmong and exploit them, which reminded me of the native Americans. They are pushed into "reservations" and there land is taken routinely. Still this young girl was very sharp and mature for her young age. We ate a meal with her family and there a picture of the view from her front yard.
