Many don't know, but in 2017, Hmongstory was approached by Valley PBS to produce a piece to tell the story of the Hmong and the Secret War. With a small budget, and only a couple of months, The Hmong and The Secret War was the final product produced.

Dr. Joseph Westermeyer served as a physician and psychiatrist in Laos from 1965 to 1967.

During that time, he worked extensively with various ethnic groups, including the Hmong, and became a leading expert on public health, addiction, and mental health in the region. He famously established a drug treatment center and his research from this period formed the basis of his influential book, "Poppies, Pipes, and People: O***m and Its Use in Laos."

His work in Laos was foundational for his later career in the United States as a renowned authority on refugee mental health, particularly among the Hmong communities that resettled in Minnesota, California, and other states.

Our Journey

Hmongstory 40 was a joint effort from many inspirational individuals and organizations throughout the state of California in 2015. It represented a collaborative that shared a common vision; an exhibition that provided a rare and intimate opportunity to connect with the Hmong people. From the past to the present, Hmongstory 40 constructed a narrative that was absent within the Hmong community and to the general public, at large.

Traditionally, the Hmong are widely know for their customs, traditions, and tapestry arts. There are numerous books, articles, and stories that have been written about the Hmong people. However, there has never been a complete exhibition organized to illustrate a richer perspective that looked into the Hmong experience.

The exhibition drew thousands of visitors, across various cities, as it educated and reminded us of the perseverance of humanity.

As we close the doors on the highly successful collaborative in 2015, we look forward to the future to create opportunities, through various distribution channels, to further inspire and educate our communities. We invite everyone to come along, for this next chapter can’t be written without you. This is our story. The Hmong story.
