Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to learn as much as you can about the religious customs and ceremonies, as well as other celebrations that are part of the Hmong culture.

· What religions do the Hmong people practice?

· How is a birth celebrated?

· What are Hmong funerals like?

· What holidays do the Hmong celebrate every year, and when do they celebrate them?

These are some of the questions you should be able to answer that will help your group write its story. Anything else you find that you feel is interesting or would work well in the story is up to you.
