Abstract: Ge Vang conducts a oral interview in the city of La Crosse to
conclude his findings of the controversy between the older and younger
Hmong, calling it the generation gap. Vang says, “Focusing on family
life, education, religion, and other intergenerational topics, this
research has revealed the existence of a significant generation gap
between Hmong youth and their elders. The core issue dividing the
generations is the conflict between maintaining traditional Hmong
culture versus Americanization.”

Abstract: Charles Numrich states, “Since they came to the U.S., the
Hmong have struggled to survive and retain their culture. Families are
torn between preservation of ancient tradition and assimilation. Many
Hmong see the Shaman as a symbol of cultural stability and make regular
visits for spiritual, medical, and cultural guidance. Many Hmong,
though, have abandoned the ways of their elders, thinking them useless
for their new lives.”
