New Years All Year Round

This time of the year brings thoughts of firecrackers and lion dances to bring in the Lunar New Year. But did you know that different Asian Pacific American communities celebrate the New Year at many times throughout the year? This poster highlights Xyoo Tshiab, the Hmong New Year. For the Hmong, a hill tribe minority group from Laos, the New Year starts after harvest time, generally in November.
