one of the areas, where many Hmong families were sent after the VietNam war. A high percentage of the original families, here in the Central Valley, traveled to Minnesota for better employment opportunities. A fully California credentialed teacher with Hmong heritage, I worked with, his family was sent all over the world, he landed here, others were in Minnesota and other were sent to France.
