Celebrating Hmong Heritage Month

Three children wearing traditional Hmong clothing smile joyfully.

Hmong are the largest Asian ethnic group in Wisconsin, and the month of April is recognized as Hmong Heritage Month in the state.

This month, we reflect on the many sacrifices that the Hmong people have made in service to our country and to celebrate the vibrant, resilient and diverse culture of Hmong Wisconsinites as an important part of our state’s identity.
