Hmong Cultural Customs Program
This 25 year old program at Hmong Cultural Center teaches adults and youth traditional orally recited songs and rituals associated with MeejKoob (the traditional Hmong Marriage Ceremony) and Kev PamTuag (Funeral Customs) in order to help ensure the survival of Hmong culture and traditions. The program is divided into two parts: The Marriage (Meej Koob) ceremony class and Funeral (Kav Xwm thiab TxivXaiv) ceremony classes.
